Explaining the Union of Inequalities in Operator Training
In your role as a safety and operations lead at an industrial manufacturing plant, you are writing an operator training guide for the facility's automated environmental sensors. The system is programmed to sound a safety alert if a sensor reading satisfies a compound condition connected by the word 'or' (for example: or ). This combined set of solutions represents the mathematical concept of a 'union'.
To ensure new operators understand the mathematical logic behind how the alert system flags safe and unsafe zones, write a short training explanation addressing the following three points based on your course materials:
- Define what the 'union of two inequalities' means algebraically, and explain what condition a number must satisfy to be included in this combined solution set.
- Describe geometrically how the union of two inequalities is represented on a single number line when you graph them.
- Recall and explain the real-world analogy (specifically the United States analogy) used to illustrate how individual solution sets are combined to form a union.

In an industrial manufacturing facility, a quality control technician is setting up an automated sorting system. A part is flagged for review if its diameter (in millimeters) is either too small or too large, represented by the compound inequality: or .
To explain to a new operator how the system evaluates whether a part falls into the review category (which represents the union of these two inequalities), arrange the steps of the logical evaluation process in the correct order from start to finish.
