Question

Solve the compound inequality. Graph the solution

Answer 1

Answer: Choice B

Work Shown:

`-2 \le 2x-4 < 4\\\\-2+4 \le 2x-4+4 < 4+4\ \text{ ... add 4 to all sides}\\\\2 \le 2x < 8\\\\2/2 \le 2x/2 < 8/2\ \text{ ... divide all sides by 2}\\\\1 \le x < 4\\\\`

This says that x is between 1 and 4; it can equal 1, but it can't equal 4.

To visually represent this, we'll have a closed circle at 1, an open circle at 4, with shading in between these circles. This is represented by graph B.
