Question

graph the set of numbers given in interval notation. then write the ineq (-∞,-2) choose the correct graph below. write the inequality statement in x describing the numbers graphed.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand interval notation

The interval $(-\infty, - 2)$ represents all real - numbers less than - 2. The open parenthesis next to $-\infty$ and - 2 indicates that $-\infty$ (which is not a real number) and - 2 are not included in the set.

Step2: Write the inequality

If we let the variable be $x$, the inequality representing the set of numbers in the interval $(-\infty,-2)$ is $x < - 2$.

Answer:

$x < - 2$
