Question

the solution to an inequality is given in interval notation as (2, ∞). what is another way to represent this solution set?

Explanation:

Step1: Interpret interval notation

The interval $(2, \infty)$ means all real numbers greater than 2, not including 2 itself.

Step2: Match to number line rules

An open circle at 2 (to exclude 2) and a shaded arrow pointing right (to represent all numbers larger than 2) corresponds to this interval.

Answer:

The fourth option: <arrow starting at open circle on 2, pointing right to 5 and beyond, with number line marked -5 to 5>
