Math Problem Statement

Enter the interval equivalent to 2 < x < 5 or x > 7.

Solution

This image explains how to convert inequalities into interval notation and includes examples. Here is a summary of the key points:

  1. Using round parentheses ( ):

    • For inequalities involving "less than" < or "greater than" >, the endpoints are not included.
    • Example: 3<x<53 < x < 5 becomes (3,5)(3, 5).
  2. Using square brackets [ ]:

    • For inequalities involving "less than or equal to" \leq or "greater than or equal to" \geq, the endpoints are included.
    • Example: x3x \geq 3 becomes [3,)[3, \infty).
  3. Union of Intervals (U):

    • When combining two intervals, use the union symbol UU.
    • Example: 3<x<53 < x < 5 or 7<x<97 < x < 9 becomes (3,5)(7,9)(3, 5) \cup (7, 9).

For the specific problem in your file, the inequality 2<x<52 < x < 5 or x>7x > 7 would be represented as the union of two intervals:
(2,5)(7,)(2, 5) \cup (7, \infty)
