Question

graph the compound inequality.
x < -320 or x > -304
plot the endpoints. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of a segment, ray, or line to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the inequality \(x < - 320\)

For \(x < -320\), the endpoint is \(x=-320\). Since the inequality is strict (\(<\)), the endpoint is open. We draw a ray starting from the open - circle at \(x = - 320\) and extending to the left (towards more negative values).

Step2: Analyze the inequality \(x>-304\)

For \(x > - 304\), the endpoint is \(x=-304\). Since the inequality is strict (\(>\)), the endpoint is open. We draw a ray starting from the open - circle at \(x=-304\) and extending to the right (towards more positive values).

Answer:

On the number line, place an open circle at \(x = - 320\) and draw a ray to the left of \(x=-320\). Place an open circle at \(x=-304\) and draw a ray to the right of \(x = - 304\).
