Algebra
Determine the correct inequality by identifying which expression contains the exact integer set negative two, negative one, zero, one, and two. The solution is found by evaluating the boundary conditions of each inequality to see which covers this specific range.
Question
Answer
To determine which inequality has
-
:
The integers satisfying this are. This does not include . -
:
The integers satisfying this are. This includes extra values ( and ). -
:
The integers satisfying this must be strictly greater thanand less than or equal to . The integers are . This matches the set. -
:
The integers satisfying this are strictly greater thanand strictly less than . The integers are . This does not include and . -
:
The integers satisfying this must be strictly greater thanand less than or equal to . The integers are . This does not include .
Comparing these results, the inequality
The correct inequality is:
