Determine whether each statement in is true or false. 0 ≥ -6

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the inequality given: \(0 \geq -6\) means "0 is greater than or equal to -6."
Recall the number line order: numbers increase as you move to the right, so any number to the right is greater than those to the left.
Since 0 is to the right of -6 on the number line, 0 is indeed greater than -6.
The "greater than or equal to" symbol (\(\geq\)) means the left side can be either greater than or exactly equal to the right side.
Therefore, the statement \(0 \geq -6\) is true because 0 is greater than -6.

Evaluating Inequalities

To evaluate an inequality, substitute the values and check if the statement is true. For example, 0 ≥ -6 means checking if zero is greater than or equal to negative six, which is true since zero is to the right of -6 on the number line.
