In this exercise, we want to graph the given inequality on a number line and determine whether the graph is a segment, a ray or rays, a point, or a line. First, consider the given inequality.
∣x∣≤0
This inequality has an absolute value which means that the distance between x and 0 is less than or equal to0 in the positive and negative direction.
∣x∣≤0⇔{x≤-0x≥-0
Note that there is only one number true for both inequalities, 0. On a number line, this is graphed with a closed circle at x=0.
