Understanding Inequalities on Number Lines

The lesson covers writing and graphing inequalities. It explains how to graph inequalities on a number line and write them to represent real-life situations. The video provides examples, such as pricing of t-shirts, spending money on ice cream, height requirements for a ride, and luggage weight limits. The lesson emphasizes understanding open and closed circles on graphs and their meanings in inequalities.

What is the primary goal of today's lesson on inequalities?

• To graph inequalities on a number line

• To solve complex equations

• To understand calculus

• To learn about fractions

What does an open circle on a number line represent?

• Less than or equal to

• Less than

• Greater than

• Equal to

• Less than or equal to

How would you represent the cost of t-shirts being less than $5 on a number line?

• Closed circle on 5 with arrow to the left

• Open circle on 5 with arrow to the right

• Open circle on 5 with arrow to the left

• Closed circle on 5 with arrow to the right

Olivia has $5 to spend on ice cream. How would you write this inequality?

• x ≥ 5

• x < 5

• x > 5
