Question

1. which statement correctly describes the graph of ( x geq 2 )?

a. closed circle at 2, shading to the right

b. closed circle at 2, shading to the left

c. open circle at 2, shading to the right

d. open circle at 2, shading to the left

Explanation:

Step1: Determine circle type

The inequality $x \geq 2$ includes 2, so use a closed circle at 2.

Step2: Determine shading direction

Values greater than 2 are to the right of 2 on the number line, so shade right.

Answer:

a. Closed circle at 2, shading to the right
