You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Start with the given inequality:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%3E=-7\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Set up a number line:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"number_line%28+500%2C+-10%2C+10%29\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now plot the point x=-7 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+-7%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 x=0, and test the inequality \"x%3E=-7\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"0%3E=-7\" Plug in \"x=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 in which contains the point x=0 using the point x=-7 as the boundary.This means we shade everything to the right of the point x=-7 like this\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Graph of \"x%3E=-7\" with the shaded region in blue\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "note: at the point x=-7, there is an closed circle. This means the point x=-7 is included from the solution set.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
