Answer 2

1. No

2. Yes

3. Yes

4. Yes

Explanation:

Given inequality :

x ≥ -4.1

1.

`\ -5\Large \ \ \text{\bf{(NO)}}`

Reason: 5 > 4.1 ⇒ -5 < -4.1

2.

`\ -4.1\Large \ \ \text{\bf{(Yes)}}`

Reason : -4.1 = -4.1 ⇒ -4.1 ≥ -4.1

3.

`\ 8\Large \ \ \text{\bf{(Yes)}}`

Reason : 8 is positive and -4.1 is negative ⇒ 8 ≥ -4.1

4.

`\ 0\Large \ \ \text{\bf{(Yes)}}`

Reason : -4.1 is negative and 0 is greater than any negative number ⇒ 0 ≥ -4.1
