Question

graph the compound inequality.

x < -23 or x > -19

plot the endpoints. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open.
a segment, ray, or line to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the inequality \(x < - 23\)

For \(x < -23\), we use an open circle at \(-23\) (since \(x=-23\) is not included) and draw a ray to the left.

Step2: Analyze the inequality \(x > -19\)

For \(x > -19\), we use an open circle at \(-19\) (since \(x = -19\) is not included) and draw a ray to the right.

Answer:

On the number - line, place an open circle at \(x=-23\) and draw a ray to the left (towards more negative numbers) for \(x < -23\). Place an open circle at \(x=-19\) and draw a ray to the right (towards more positive numbers) for \(x > -19\).
