You can put this solution on YOUR website!
We are give that t < -4, this is the open interval
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "( -infinity, -4)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "if the inequality was -4 > or = t, then the interval would be
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "( -infinity, -4], this is an interval closed on the right
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "In this graph, shading would be to the left of -4 on the number line and terminated with an arrow
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+number_line%28+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-4%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "shading represents the solutions to the inequality
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
