OPEN-ENDED: Write a compound inequality whose graph is the empty set.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The compound inequality whose graph is empty set is x10and -3x6.

Step by step solution

01

– Define the inequalities 

Let a variable x.

Let the inequality for at least situations is x10and -3x6.

02

– Rewrite the inequalities to as a compound inequality with word and 

Inequality for at least situation is x10, and -3x6

Now, use the word ‘and’ and write the compound inequality then solve each inequality as follows:

x10 and -3x6

x10and -x2

x10and x-2

Since the intersection ‘and’ contains only the elements that belong to both sets, therefore the compound inequality is x10 and x-2.

03

– Draw the graph for the compound inequality

The graph for the compound inequality is x10andx-2is shown below:

Therefore, the shaded line with violet colour is an empty set.
