Praxis 5003 Practice Test Practice Question
The preceding figure shows the solution set of which of the following inequalities?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To determine the solution set represented in the figure, analyze each inequality.
Option A (3x - 1 > 2x + 3) simplifies to x > 4, indicating an open interval starting from 4, which doesn't match a closed interval.
Option B (3x - 1 >= 2x + 3) leads to x >= 4, suggesting a closed interval at 4, which is also inconsistent with the figure.
Option C (3x - 1 < 2x + 3) simplifies to x < 4, indicating an open interval extending to 4, aligning with the figure's representation.
Option D (3x - 1 <= 2x + 3) results in x <= 4, indicating a closed interval at 4, which again does not match the figure.
Thus, the figure accurately represents the inequality x < 4.
