You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Start with the given inequality:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d%3E=-3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Set up a number line:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"number_line%28+500%2C+-10%2C+10%29\" note: just replace the x with the variable you are working with\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now plot the point -3 on the number line\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"number_line%28+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-3%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now pick any test point you want, I'm going to choose 0, and test the inequality \"d%3E=-3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"0%3E=-3\" Plug in \"d=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since this inequality is true, we simply shade the entire portion that contains 0 using the point -3 as the boundary. This means we shade everything to the right of the point -3 like this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Graph of \"d%3E=-3\" with the shaded region in blue\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "note: at the point -3, there is an closed circle. This means the point -3 is included from the solution set.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
