Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Interval

The graph shows a number line with a shaded region starting from 5 and extending to the right indefinitely. This indicates that the interval starts at 5 and goes to positive infinity.

Step 2: Determine the Type of Interval

Since the shaded region starts at 5 and includes 5 (indicated by the solid dot), the interval is closed at 5. The interval extends to positive infinity, which is always open.

Step 3: Write the Interval in Interval Notation

The interval notation for a closed interval starting at 5 and extending to positive infinity is \([5, \infty)\).

Step 4: Express the Inequality

The inequality that represents this interval is \(x \geq 5\).

Final Answer

  • Interval Notation: \([5, \infty)\)
  • Inequality: \(x \geq 5\)
