Question

graph the compound inequality. -5 < x < -4 plot the endpoints. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of a segment, ray, or line to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify inequality type

The inequality $-5 < x < -4$ is a strict compound - inequality.

Step2: Determine endpoint type

Since it's a strict inequality ($<$), both endpoints are open.

Step3: Plot on number - line

On the given number - line, place open circles at $x=-5$ and $x = - 4$. Then shade the region between these two open - circles.

Answer:

Place open circles at $x=-5$ and $x=-4$ and shade the region between them on the number - line.
