Compound Inequalities

Write an inequality for Graph 3.

• 5 < x ≤ -2

• x ≤ -2 OR x > 5

• x ≥ -2 OR x < 5

• -2 ≤ x < 5

What inequality is graphed?

• 2 < x ≤ -3

• 2 < x < -3

• x > 2 or x ≤ -3

• x > 2 or x < -3

Write an inequality for Graph 4.

• -2 < x < 5

• x < -2 or x > 5

• $x\ \le2\ or\ x\ \ge5$

• $x\ge2\ and\ x\le5$

What inequality is graphed?

• 2 < x < 4

• x ≥ 2 and x ≤ 4

• x > 2 or x < 4

• x ≥ 2 or x ≤ 4

What inequality is graphed? 

• x > 2 and x ≤ -3
• x > 2 and x < -3
