Q. What inequality represents this interval?\newline(,1)(-\infty, -1)\newlineChoices:\newline(A) x>1x > -1\newline(B) x1x \geq -1\newline(C) x<1x < -1\newline(D) x1x \leq -1
  1. Identify Endpoints: Identify the endpoints of the interval and whether they are included in the interval. The interval is (,1)(-\infty, -1), which means that the endpoints are -\infty and 1-1. Since the interval notation uses parentheses, neither endpoint is included in the interval.
  2. Determine Direction: Determine the direction of the inequality. Since the interval extends from negative infinity up to but not including 1-1, the inequality must indicate that xx is less than 1-1.
  3. Choose Inequality Symbol: Choose the correct inequality symbol. The inequality must be "less than" because 1-1 is not included in the interval. Therefore, the correct symbol is "<<".
  4. Write Inequality: Write the inequality that represents the interval. The correct inequality is x<1x < -1, which corresponds to choice (C)(C).
