The answer is likely choice C

The reason why I'm not entirely sure is because of a potential typo. See below.

Let's go through each answer choice

------------

Choice A

Solve each inequality for x

x+1 < -1 becomes x < -2 after subtracting 1 from both sides

x+1 < 1 becomes x < 0 after subtracting 1 from both sides

We have {x < -2} intersected with {x < 0}. The overlap is x < -2. I recommend using a number line diagram to see how the overlap is working. Basically we're looking for numbers that are both less than -2 AND also less than 0. That simplifies to numbers less than -2 (as anything less than -2 is already smaller than 0).

A number like x = -10 is in the solution set of {x < -2}, but we just wanted 0 and only 0 to be in the solution set. So we can rule out choice A.

------------

Choice B

Solve each for x

x+1 = 1 becomes x = 0

x+1 > 1 becomes x > 0

This is a contradiction as we're talking about numbers that are 0 itself and larger than 0 at the same time. No such number exists. Effectively, these two sets cannot be combined to make anything meaningful. In other words, the solution set here is the empty set. For this reason, we can rule out choice B

------------

Choice C

Again we solve each for x

x+1 < 1 becomes x < 0

x+1 > 1 becomes x > 0

This is also the empty set because there are no numbers both smaller than 0 and larger than 0 at the same time.

If we had "or equal to" as part of the inequality sign, then $x+1 \le 1$ solves to $x \le 0$ , while $x+1 \ge 1$ solves to $x \ge 0$ . Combining both $x \le 0$ and $x \ge 0$ will yield exactly one item, and that is x = 0

It seems like your teacher meant for this to be the answer and that there is a typo. Of course, its best to ask him/her about this directly.

Answer from: Quest

solve systems of equations by graphing. a system of linear equations contains two or more equations e.g. y=0.5x+2 and y=x-2. the solution of such a system is the ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. to solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system

Use a calculator to verify that σ(x) = 62, σ(x2) = 1034, σ(y) = 644, σ(y2) = 93,438, and σ(x y) = 9,622. compute r. (enter a number. round your answer to three decimal places.) as x increases from 3 to 22 months, does the value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease? explain your answer. given our value of r, y should tend to increase as x increases. given our value of r, we can not draw any conclusions for the behavior of y as x increases. given our value of r, y should tend to remain constant as x increases. given our value of r, y should tend to decrease as x increases.
