The number line shows the graph of an inequality: which statement explains whether -3.5 can be a value in the shaded region?

Yes it can, because −3.5 lies to the left of −0.5.

Yes it can, because −3.5 lies to the right of −0.5.

No it cannot, because −3.5 lies to the left of −0.5.

No it cannot, because −3.5 lies to the right of −0.5.

Yes it can, because −3.5 lies to the left of −0.5.

Option A.

Explanation:

This option has been chosen because the left of the 0 has been shaded and all the negative values lies on the left of zero. So -3.5 lies to the left of -0.5 and is in the shaded region of the number line.

In a number line, the figure -3.5 lies on the left side compared to the number -0.5 because the higher the value on the negative side of the number line, more left it would be on the number line.

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
