Question

graph the compound inequality.

$x \leq - 599$ or $x \geq - 596$

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: Plot endpoints for \(x\leq - 599\)

For \(x\leq - 599\), we plot a closed circle at \(-599\) (since the inequality includes equality) and draw a ray to the left.

Step2: Plot endpoints for \(x\geq - 596\)

For \(x\geq - 596\), we plot a closed circle at \(-596\) (since the inequality includes equality) and draw a ray to the right.

Answer:

On the number - line, there is a closed circle at \(-599\) with a ray extending to the left (for \(x\leq - 599\)) and a closed circle at \(-596\) with a ray extending to the right (for \(x\geq - 596\)).
