1. **State the problem:** Find the possible values for the height of a plant that is greater than 2 inches but no more than 8 inches. 2. **Write the inequality:** The height $h$ satisfies $$2 < h \leq 8$$ 3. **Explain the inequality:** This means the height is strictly greater than 2 (not equal to 2) and less than or equal to 8 (can be equal to 8). 4. **Graph the solution on the number line:** - Draw an open circle at 2 to show $h$ cannot be 2. - Draw a closed circle at 8 to show $h$ can be 8. - Shade the region between 2 and 8. 5. **Final answer:** The possible values for the height of the plant are all real numbers $h$ such that $$2 < h \leq 8$$
