Representing Inequalities on the Number Line
Greater than or equal (≥≥)
First, change the inequality sign into an equal sign and find the xx values using cross method

Mark these 22 points on a number plane. Use filled dots since the sign used is ≤≤
Next, test a point to determine which part of the number line is covered by xx
Try x=-5x=−5
x2-x-12x2−x−12 |
≤≤ |

Mark these 22 points on the xx axis.
Next, substitute x=0x=0 to the function to get the yy intercept
yy |
== |
4+3x-x24+3x−x2 |
yy |
== |
4+3(0)-(0)24+3(0)−(0)2 |
Substitute x=0x=0 |
yy |
== |
44 |
Mark this point on the yy axis.
Form a parabola by connecting the points
Since we are looking for y≥0y≥0, the values are on or above the xx axis
This means that xx is greater than or equal to -1−1 and less than or equal to 44
