Question

why is this not supposed to make sense?

-3<=x<=7? Thanks.

Answer 1

Is there more to the problem?

Answer 2

Explain why − 3 ≤ x ≤ 7 is nonsense and write the statement correctly in set builder and interval
notation and on a graph.

Answer 3

thats what it said...

Answer 4

can you help?

Answer 5

I think I'm lost.

Answer 6

-3<=x<=7 makes perfect sense

it's describing any number between -3 and 7 (including both endpoints)

Answer 7

Thats what i don't get...i think it might be a trick question or something

Answer 8

or a typo

Answer 9

-3<=x<=7 makes a lot of sense to me

Answer 10

Answer 11

i copied and pasted it so it is correct

Answer 12

ok well i agree with joe and doe

Answer 13

Describe the set of all real numbers greater than 2 and less than or equal to 17 in set builder
and interval notation and on a graph.

Answer 18

Well thanks anyways guys.

Answer 19

For
**Explain why − 3 ≤ x ≤ 7 is nonsense**
I would ask your teacher about this one. I know of no math references that would call this nonsense.
example http://regentsprep.org/regents/math/algebra/ap1/intervalnot.htm

In other words, it makes sense (as pointed out above by other people)

Answer 20

lol, it is likely a typo!

Answer 21

Yea probs
