Math Problem Statement

Rewrite the set G by listing its elements. Make sure to use the appropriate set notation. G = { y | y is an integer and -4 ≤ y ≤ -3 }

Solution

The problem you're working on asks you to rewrite the set GG by listing its elements, where G={yy is an integer and 4y3}G = \{ y \mid y \text{ is an integer and } -4 \leq y \leq -3 \}.

Explanation:

You are given a set of integers between 4-4 and 3-3, inclusive. These are the integers yy such that 4y3-4 \leq y \leq -3.

The only integers within this range are: y=4,3y = -4, -3

Set notation for GG:

G={4,3}G = \{-4, -3\}

This is the correct way to list the elements of the set GG.

Would you like any additional explanation or details? Here are some questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. What if the inequality was 5y3-5 \leq y \leq -3?
  2. How would the set change if the inequality were strict, like 4<y<3-4 < y < -3?
  3. What are the key differences between listing elements and describing them using set-builder notation?
  4. Can you list all integers between two other bounds, such as 1y51 \leq y \leq 5?
  5. How would this problem change if yy were allowed to be a real number instead of an integer?

Tip: Always remember that when dealing with set-builder notation, focus on the conditions that define the set, like whether yy is an integer and within a specified range.
