SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies the shading differences in Argand diagrams for inequalities involving the symbols > and ≥. For the inequality |z| > 5, the region outside the circle of radius 5 centered at the origin is shaded, excluding the boundary. Conversely, for |z| ≥ 5, the same region is shaded, but the boundary is included, typically represented by a solid line. This distinction is crucial for accurately interpreting the graphical representation of complex inequalities.
