Question

19 solve the inequality. (a) (s + 1geq - 5) (b) graph the inequality.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the variable s

Subtract 1 from both sides of $s + 1\geq - 5$.
$s+1-1\geq - 5 - 1$

Step2: Simplify the inequality

$s\geq - 6$
For graphing, since the inequality is $s\geq - 6$, we use a closed - circle at $s=-6$ (because the inequality includes equality) and shade the number - line to the right of - 6 to represent all values of s that satisfy the inequality.

Answer:

(a) $s\geq - 6$
(b) On the number - line, there is a closed circle at - 6 and the line is shaded to the right of - 6.
