( x>2 and x<5) AND (x>3 or x<4) How to solve and graph and put in set notation?

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

How do I explain this... You have to graph them before putting in set notation. Do you know how to?

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Yeah I know how to graph them. But when I graphed x>3 or x<4 they ended up having some solutions in common. Does that mean anything? Like no solution or whatever?

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Does the question ask for the values of x where both enequalities are valid?

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Uhm, no I don't think so. It just said that inequality thing I wrote up in the post. and then Solve and Graph. Write anser in Set-builder notation. Could you show me how to graph would end up looking? Then maybe i can understand

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

would it look like.|dw:1378938992461:dw|

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Woah...I meant the graph would be on a number line..lol

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Well that kind of graph works too. Yes it would look something like that. So then the area you want are between 3 and 5 where 3 and 5 are not included. So you would write that one as (3,5)

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

ok. Gotcha. Makes some sense.

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

If 3 and 5 were included, it would have been \[\left[ 3,5 \right]\]

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

ok
