Math Problem Statement

Use the variable x to write the set in set-builder notation. Let H be the set of real numbers greater than six.

Solution

The problem asks you to use set-builder notation to represent the set HH, defined as the set of real numbers greater than six.

In set-builder notation, we would write this as: H={xx>6,xR}H = \{ x \mid x > 6, \, x \in \mathbb{R} \}

This reads as "H is the set of all xx such that xx is greater than 6, and xx is a real number."

Would you like further details on set-builder notation or have any questions?


Here are some related questions that could help deepen understanding:

  1. How would you represent a set of real numbers less than a certain value in set-builder notation?
  2. What does the symbol R\mathbb{R} represent in mathematics?
  3. How would the notation change if we included 6 in the set (i.e., x6x \geq 6)?
  4. How could you represent an interval for all real numbers between two values, like 3 and 7?
  5. How would the notation change if we were working with integers instead of real numbers?

Tip: In set-builder notation, the vertical bar | or colon :: means "such that" and is used to define the property that elements of the set must satisfy.
