Problem #1
Answer: C, D
We have and . For the compound inequalities, the final solution is . So it is a number line with closed circle on 16, shaded to the right.
Problem #2
Answer: D
The inequality is . It uses sign and thus it has a solid line. We check the origin and is true. So the solution region contains the origin.
