Graphing inequality on a number line?

asked 2014-08-18 22:11:18 +0100

I can certainly get the solution set for $x^2 - 9 \geq 0$, but how do I get this solution set visualized on a number line?

You can get the characteristic function of the solution set (which is a list of lists of symbolic elements) as follows:

sage: s = solve(x^2 - 9 >= 0, x)
sage: f = lambda t : min(1, sum([bool(i[0](t)) for i in s]))

and then plot it to see the solution set:

sage: plot(f,-10,10)

or even:

sage: plot(f,-10,10, fill='axis')
