Chapter 8, Problem 7PSQ

To determine

To write:

An inequality represented by the graph.

Answer to Problem 7PSQ

The inequality $x<1$ represents the given graph.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Graph of an inequality:

  

Calculation:

We have been given a number line inequality. We can see the arrow on the number line points to all values less than 1.

We can also see that the point at 1 has an open dot, so our given graph represents everything less than 1.

Upon representing our given information in an inequality, we will get:

  $x<1$

Therefore, the inequality $x<1$ represents our given graph.
