Answer 7

Yes, the multiple choices are:

x < -3 or x >= 5
x < 5 or >= -3
x <= -3 or > 5
x <= -3 or >= 5

Answer 8

All real numbers are less than -3 or greater than or equal to 5


ℝ < -3 or ℝ > 5.

Answer 9

You wouldn't use x. The correct notation is: ℝ

By saying, "x," we're implying any set of numbers.

(ℝ ± x) = any number.

Answer 10

Okay, I understand that but I was just stating that the multiple choices I was given

Answer 11

Answer 12

I'm still confused

Answer 13

We want all numbers less than -3, right?

So we use a less than sign.

ℝ < -3

now we want all numbers GREATER than , right?

ℝ > 5

(Real numbers) is just fancy notation being used here. "Real numbers." just means coutning numbers. -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 --- they're all real numbers.

Answer 14

Okay, so the answer in this case would be x (I know the notation should be r) < 3 or 5 >= x
