Math Problem Statement
Express the interval in set-builder notation and graph the interval on a number line.
(-2, ∞)
Solution
To express the interval in set-builder notation:
- The interval describes all real numbers that are greater than , but do not include itself.
- In set-builder notation, this is written as:
Graph of the Interval on a Number Line:
- Draw a horizontal number line.
- Mark the point on the number line.
- Use an open circle at to indicate that is not included in the interval.
- Shade the number line to the right of and continue the shading infinitely to represent all numbers greater than .
I can also generate a visual representation of this interval on a number line. Would you like me to generate that graph?
