Exploring the Fundamentals of Inequality

Which symbol represents a value being larger than another?

• <

• >

• ≥

• ≤

How is the 'less than' symbol visually described?

• A straight line

• A closed loop

• An alligator mouth

• A tipped 'L'

What does the symbol '≥' signify?

• Less than

• Greater than

• Greater than or equal to

• Less than or equal to

Which inequality symbol means the number can be less than or equal to another number?

• ≥

• <

• >

• ≤

In graphing inequalities, what does an open circle represent?

• The number is included in the solution.

• The number is not included in the solution.

• The solution is greater than the number.

• The solution is less than the number.

What does a solid dot on a graph indicate?

• The number is possibly included in the solution.

• The solution is equal to the number.

• The number is definitely not included in the solution.

• The solution is uncertain.

If 'x ≤ -3', how is the point at -3 represented on the graph?

• With a solid dot

• With an open circle

• Not represented

• With a square

What is the correct way to interpret 'x < -3' on a graph?

• Shade to the right of -3 with a solid dot

• Shade to the left of -3 with an open circle

• Shade to the right of -3 with an open circle

• Shade to the left of -3 with a solid dot

When graphing 'x > 4', in which direction should the shading go?

• To the left of 4

• Both sides of 4

• To the right of 4

• Directly on 4

For the inequality 'x ≥ 4', where should the shading be applied?

• Nowhere, it's an equality

• To the right of 4, including 4

• Directly on 4 only

• To the left of 4
