Math Problem Statement

What is the set notation of y<-2 or y>3

Solution

The set notation for the inequality y<2y < -2 or y>3y > 3 represents the union of two disjoint intervals. In set notation, we can write this as:

y(,2)(3,)y \in (-\infty, -2) \cup (3, \infty)

This means that yy belongs to either the interval (,2)(-\infty, -2), where yy is less than 2-2, or the interval (3,)(3, \infty), where yy is greater than 33.

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How would the set notation change if the inequality included \leq or \geq?
  2. How can you express y(,2)(3,)y \in (-\infty, -2) \cup (3, \infty) on a number line?
  3. What is interval notation, and how is it related to set notation?
  4. What happens if the inequalities overlap (e.g., y>2y > -2 and y<3y < 3)?
  5. How do you write an inequality in set-builder notation?

Tip: In set notation, a union \cup combines multiple sets, including all elements from both intervals.
