Choose the correct description of the graph of the inequality x - 3 > = 5.

a. open circle on 8, shading to the left.
b. closed circle on 8, shading to the left.
c. open circle on 8, shading to the right.
d. closed circle on 8, shading to the right.

The correct answer is:

D) Closed circle on 8, shading to the right.

Explanation:

First we must solve the inequality:

x - 3 ≥ 5

Add 3 to each side:

x - 3 + 3 ≥ 5 + 3

x ≥ 8

To graph this, we want a circle on 8 Since it is "greater than or equal to," 8 is included in the solution set. This means the circle will be closed.

Since it is "greater than," we want the numbers to the right of 8 on the number line.

This means the inequality will be a closed circle and shaded to the right.

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

i found the life tables for the year 2012. 

life table of males at age 30. probability of dying between ages x and x+1

total population:

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
