Math Problem Statement

Which is the set of numbers less than or equal to 4 or greater than 7?

Solution

The question is asking for the set of numbers that are "less than or equal to 4" or "greater than 7."

Let's break this down:

  • "Less than or equal to 4" means x4x \leq 4.
  • "Greater than 7" means x>7x > 7.

So, we are looking for a set where x4x \leq 4 or x>7x > 7.

Among the given choices, the correct set notation would be:

{xx4 or x>7}\{x \mid x \leq 4 \text{ or } x > 7\}

This corresponds to the first option in the image:

{xx4 or x>7}\{x \mid x \leq 4 \text{ or } x > 7\}

Would you like more details on why this is correct or have any other questions?

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. What is the difference between using "or" and "and" in set notation?
  2. How would you represent a set of numbers between 3 and 10?
  3. What is the set notation for numbers greater than or equal to 5?
  4. How would this problem change if the condition was x4x \leq 4 and x>7x > 7?
  5. How can we graph the solution to this inequality on a number line?

Tip: When dealing with inequalities, always pay attention to whether the symbol is strict (<< or >>) or inclusive (\leq or \geq).
