Question

For the compound inequalities below (5-7), determine whether the inequality results in an overlapping region or a combined region. Then determine whether the circles are open are closed. Finally, graph the compound inequality. Simplify if needed.5. x < 4 OR x >_ 13

Answer 1

The given compound inequality is

$x<4,or,x\ge13$

Notice that the solution for x would be all real numbers less than 4, and greater than or equal to 13. If we graph this solution, it would be

As you can observe, the solution sets don't overlap with each other.
