How do you graph #x>5# on the coordinate plane?

Answer 1

Abigail Allen

See a solution process below:

To graph this we will draw a vertical line at #5# on the horizontal axis.

The line will be a dashed line because the inequality operator does not contain an "or equal to" clause.

We will shade to the right side of the line because the inequality operator also contains a "greater than" clause:

graph{x> 5 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}

To graph ( x > 5 ) on the coordinate plane, you would draw a vertical line at ( x = 5 ) (vertical because ( x ) is not dependent on ( y )). Then, shade the area to the right of the line because ( x ) is greater than 5.

Answer from HIX Tutor

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
