Which number line models the solution set of the following problem? one less than twice a number is no less than five. what is the solution set?

Option 1.

The solution set is: {n|n is a real number, n≥3}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You must read carefully the information given in the problem: "One less than twice a number" indicates that you must write a number multiplied by 2 and subtract 1 from this term, as following:

2. "is not less than five" indicates that the result must be equal or greater than 5. Then, you obtain the following expression:

3. Now, you can solve for . Then, you obtain:

4. Then, the solution set is: {n|n is a real number, n≥3}.

5. The correct plot on the number line must show a circle on 3 (You must fill in the circle if the sign is or) with a line from that circle to the right.

5. Therefore, the answer is the first option.

answer: give more info

step-by-step explanation:

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
