The symbol > is always read from left to right, and it means than.

The symbol '>' is always read from left to right, and it means greater than.

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, such relationships between the two expressions which are not equal to one another are said to be inequalities.

To express these inequalities, certain symbols are used which include the following ones:

<, >, ≤, ≥ and ≠

All these symbol are always read from the left side towards the right side and the symbol '>' means greater than.

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be 7
