Choose the compound inequality that represents each phrase.
All real number that are less than -3 or greater than or equal to 5.
A. X < -3 or x >= 5
B. X < 5 or x >= -3
C. X <= -3 or x > 5
D. x <= -3 or x <= 5
A. X < -3 or x >= 5
To represent the given phrase "All real numbers that are less than -3 or greater than or equal to 5" as a compound inequality, we need to use 'or' to connect the two parts of the inequality.
1. The phrase "All real numbers that are less than -3" can be represented as x < -3.
2. The phrase "All real numbers that are greater than or equal to 5" can be represented as x >= 5.
Now, let's connect these two inequalities using 'or':
A. x < -3 or x >= 5
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
The correct answer is A.
The compound inequality that represents the phrase "All real numbers that are less than -3 or greater than or equal to 5" is "x < -3 or x >= 5".
