Math Problem Statement

Express the inequality ​a) using a number​ line, ​b) in interval​ notation, and ​c) as a solution set​ (use set builder​ notation). xgreater than4

Solution

Let's break down the inequality x>4x > 4 into the different formats:

a) On a number line:

  • On the number line, we will show the number 4 with an open circle (to indicate that 4 is not included), and we will shade the line to the right of 4 to indicate that xx is greater than 4.

b) In interval notation:

  • Interval notation represents the set of numbers as an interval. Since x>4x > 4, we do not include 4, so the interval starts from 4 (but does not include it) and extends to infinity.
  • Interval notation: (4,)(4, \infty)

c) As a solution set (set builder notation):

  • In set builder notation, we describe the set of all values of xx that satisfy the condition x>4x > 4.
  • Set builder notation: {xx>4}\{ x \mid x > 4 \}

Would you like me to provide a visual representation of the number line?
