Question

1. graph the solution to each compound inequality

$x < - 9$ or $x \geq - 2$

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the inequality \(x < - 9\)

For \(x < - 9\), we use an open circle at \(-9\) (since \(-9\) is not included) and draw an arrow to the left.

Step2: Analyze the inequality \(x\geq - 2\)

For \(x\geq - 2\), we use a closed circle at \(-2\) (since \(-2\) is included) and draw an arrow to the right.

Answer:

On the number - line, place an open circle at \(-9\) and shade to the left of \(-9\). Place a closed circle at \(-2\) and shade to the right of \(-2\).
