Question

let a be the number of apples jalen picks. which inequality represents the number of apples jalen can pick to make applesauce? a > 3 which graph shows a > 3?

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the inequality symbol

The inequality \(a > 3\) means \(a\) is greater than \(3\).

Step2: Analyze the circle type

A open circle (not filled) is used for \(>\) or \(<\) (not including the number), and a closed circle is used for \(\geq\) or \(\leq\) (including the number).

Step3: Analyze the arrow direction

For \(a>3\), the values of \(a\) are to the right of \(3\) on the number - line.

Answer:

The second graph (with an open circle at \(3\) and an arrow pointing to the right).
