The solution to an inequality is given in interval notation as (2, ∞). What is another way to represent this solution set? A num
ber line going from negative 5 to positive 5. A solid circle appears at positive 2. The number line is shaded between positive 2 and negative 5. A number line going from negative 5 to positive 5. An open circle appears at positive 2. The number line is shaded between positive 2 and negative 5. A number line going from negative 5 to positive 5. A solid circle appears at positive 2. The number line is shaded between positive 2 and positive 5. A number line going from negative 5 to positive 5. An open circle appears at positive 2. The number line is shaded between positive 2 and positive 5.
The solution is in parenthesis, so this means the numbers are included in the answer. Since the first number is 2, 2 is a possible answer so the circle at positive two would be solid.
The other solution is infinity, so the answers are any number to the right of the 2 on the number line.
This makes the answer: A solid circle appears at positive 2. The number line is shaded between positive 2 and positive 5.
