Question

the king cobra is a roller coaster. it sells more than 900 tickets each day. what inequality can you write to show the ticket sales, t? how would you graph the solutions of the inequality?

Explanation:

Step1: Define the inequality

Let \( t \) represent the number of tickets sold each day. The problem states that it sells more than 900 tickets, so the inequality is \( t > 900 \).

Step2: Graph the inequality

To graph \( t > 900 \) on a number line:

• Draw a number line and locate the point 900.
• Since \( t \) is greater than 900 (not equal to), we use an open circle at 900.
• Then, we draw an arrow to the right of the open circle to represent all the numbers greater than 900.

Answer:

The inequality is \( t > 900 \). To graph it, place an open circle at 900 on a number line and draw an arrow pointing to the right.
