Understanding Compound Inequalities

In this video, Mr. J explains how to graph compound inequalities involving 'or' on a number line. He uses the example of X ≤ Z or X > 4, demonstrating how to graph each inequality separately and then combine them. The video also includes testing specific numbers to determine if they satisfy the compound inequality, providing a clear visual representation and understanding of the concept.

What is a compound inequality involving 'or'?

• An inequality that has no solution.

• An inequality that must satisfy both conditions simultaneously.

• An inequality that only involves positive numbers.

• An inequality that must satisfy at least one of the conditions.

In the inequality X ≤ 0, what does the filled circle at 0 represent?

• 0 is included in the solution.

• 0 is not included in the solution.

• 0 is the only solution.

• 0 is greater than all solutions.

For the inequality X > 4, why is there an open circle at 4?

• 4 is not included in the solution.

• 4 is included in the solution.

• 4 is the only solution.

• 4 is less than all solutions.

What does the combined graph of X ≤ 0 or X > 4 represent?

• Solutions that are only less than 0.

• Solutions that are only greater than 4.

• Solutions that are either less than or equal to 0 or greater than 4.

• Solutions that are between 0 and 4.

Which of the following numbers is a solution to the compound inequality X ≤ 0 or X > 4?

• 2

• 1

• 5

• 3

Why is the number 2 not a solution to the compound inequality X ≤ 0 or X > 4?

• Because 2 is less than 0.

• Because 2 is greater than 4.

• Because 2 is neither less than or equal to 0 nor greater than 4.

• Because 2 is equal to 0.

What is the significance of the arrows on the number line in the graph of a compound inequality?

• They show the midpoint of the solutions.

• They represent the end of the solutions.

• They indicate the start of the solutions.

• They indicate the direction of the solutions.

Which of the following is true for the number 7 in the context of the compound inequality X ≤ 0 or X > 4?

• 7 is equal to 4.

• 7 is less than or equal to 0.

• 7 is less than 4.

• 7 is greater than 4.

What does the compound inequality X ≤ 0 or X > 4 imply about the range of solutions?

• Solutions include all numbers between 0 and 4.

• Solutions include numbers less than or equal to 0 and numbers greater than 4.

• Solutions are only positive numbers.

• Solutions are only negative numbers.

What is the purpose of graphing compound inequalities on a number line?

• To find the exact numerical solutions.

• To visually represent the range of solutions.

• To eliminate impossible solutions.

• To compare different inequalities.
