Graph each inequality separately and then combine the graphs.
Practice makes perfect
We will graph each inequality separately and then combine the graphs. Let's think about the first inequality.
t≥- 2
This inequality describes all the numbers to the right of - 2, including - 2. We mark this on the number line with a closed circle and then shade everything to the right of that point.
Now let's take a look at the second inequality.
t≤- 5
It describes all the numbers to the left of, and including, - 5. We mark this on the number line with a closed circle and then shade everything to the left of that point.
Finally, we can combine both graphs into one to describe both t≥- 2 and t≤- 5.
