# Math Help - Inequalities

1. ## Inequalities

This seems straightforward. Is it really as simple as drawing a line from -2 to 3 horizontally parallel to the existing one on the diagram?

"the following integers" are missing. a lot of integers are like children, you have to keep close watch on them because they tend to wander and get lost

4. Not naughty, just shy!

-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3

lucky you. usually the integers i work with are naughty. i'd draw the inequality $-2 \leq x \leq 3$

you could actually draw any inequality ranging from $-4 \leq x \leq 6$ but encompassing the region $-2 \leq x \leq 3$

do you know how to do that?

Well, I would draw a line from the point 3 to just after -2.

that's fine. but note if you draw the line from point 3, you'd have to shade the circle, if you're going to draw it extending past -2, then you don't have to shade that one

8. Shade the circle? I don't understand. Do you mean that black spot?

yes the black spot, it was actually a circle that was shaded in. we shade the circle if we have $\geq$ or $\leq$, we leave it unshaded if we have $>$ or $<$
