Answer:

  D.  x < -4 or x ≥ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

You can eliminate choices A and B because the graph and the inequalities do not agree.

__

You can eliminate choice C because the first inequality tells you ...

  x < some value

That means the shading will be to the left of an open circle.

This is only shown in Choice D.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can work multiple choice questions several different ways. I like to choose the simplest, which often means you do not actually need to work the problem. You only need to be able to identify ...

  • answers that are self-consistent
  • answers that are consistent with problem requirements
  • answers that are consistent with numerical and geometric facts

Here, we can eliminate incorrect answers by throwing out those that are not self-consistent and that are not consistent with the problem statement.

__

If we were to solve the inequalities, we would subtract 7 from both sides of the first one:

  x +7 < 3

  x < -4 . . . . . . subtract 7 from both sides

and we would add 5 to both sides of the second one:

  x -5 ≥ -1

  x ≥ 4 . . . . . . add 5 to both sides

If you write these inequalities so the symbols point left, you have ...

 x < -4  or  4 ≤ x

This tells you shading is "outside" the segment between -4 and 4, and that there is an open-circle at x=-4. This is consistent with the number lines of choices B and D. However, these inequalities are <em>not consistent</em> with what is written in choice B.

Answer:

Using a calculator, if you typed in 9 divided by 2, you'd get 4.5. You could also express 9/2 as a mixed fraction: 4 1/2.

A wheel with radius 1 foot makes 1 revolution in 4 seconds. What is the linear velocity, in feet per second, of a point on the e
Alona [7]

In one revolution of the wheel, a point on the edge travels a distance equal to the circumference of the wheel.

The wheel has radius 1 ft, so its circumference is 2π (1 ft) = 2π ft.

Then the point has a linear speed of

(1/4 rev/s) * (2π ft/rev) = 2π/4 ft/s = π/2 ft/s
