we know that
A compound inequality contains at least two inequalities that are separated by either "and" or "or".
In this problem the two inequalities are joined with "and"
so
we have
[tex] x < 3 [/tex] --------> inequality [tex] 1 [/tex]
[tex] x\geq -1 [/tex] --------> inequality [tex] 2 [/tex]
[tex] -1\leq x < 3[/tex] --------> compound inequality
The solution is the interval--------> [-1, 3)
The graph of the compound inequality represents the intersection of the graph of the inequalities
