Question

The compound inequality 8.00 ≤ x < 9.50 represents all values, x, for which college students are paid hourly as teacher assistants. What is another way of writing this compound inequality?
x ≤ 8.00 and x < 9.50
x ≤ 8.00 or x < 9.50
x ≥ 8.00 and x < 9.50
x ≥ 8.00 or x < 9.50

Answer 1

Answer: x≥ 8.00 and x < 9.50 is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, given expression 8.00 ≤ x < 9.50

Where x is the value for which college students are paid hourly as teacher assistants.

so, x is greater than or equal to 8.00

Therefore, $x\geq 8.00$  

And, x is less than 9.50

Therefore,  x < 9.50

On combining both expression we get,  $x\geq 8.00$ and $x < 9.50$.

Thus, Third Option is correct.
