Answer:
an open circle means it contains no equal signs.....everything to the left is shaded....means it is less then
x < 1 (thats a less then sign only) ....no equal sign in there
In the attachement, there is what I came up with so far. I think that finding 'a' is non-trivial, if possible at all.
- the area of a circle
- the area of a circular segment
Your answer should be the 3rd choice. There is no solution.
