This week in math, we learnt what it would look like when an inequality is graphed, as well as reviewing the meanings of the dots on inequality scales.

We learned how different inequalities appear when graphed using Desmos. For example, when graphing x < 2, we can see that the graph uses a dashed line at x = 2, instead of a solid one. This is because the symbol “<” means that the value at 2 is not included in the solution. Oppositely, when we graph x ≤ 2, a solid line is used to indicate that 2 is part of the solution. This visual difference helps us understand how the two inequalities represent different sets of values.

My biggest mistake this week, was the open and closed dot meanings. The dot being closed, means that the number it lands on IS a possible solution. The open dot, means that the number it lands on, is NOT  solution.
