Question

graphing compound inequalities
graph this compound inequality: x < 8.3 or x > 9.8
7 8 9 10
drag a point to the number line

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the inequality symbols

The inequalities are $x < 8.3$ and $x>9.8$. The symbol $<$ means all values less than 8.3 and $>$ means all values greater than 9.8.

Step2: Graph on the number - line

For $x < 8.3$, we use an open - circle at 8.3 (because 8.3 is not included) and draw an arrow to the left. For $x>9.8$, we use an open - circle at 9.8 (because 9.8 is not included) and draw an arrow to the right.

Answer:

On the number - line, place an open - circle at 8.3 and draw an arrow to the left. Place an open - circle at 9.8 and draw an arrow to the right.
