The complement of a set is basically the complete opposite of it.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so we're given a set that essentially says "x is some number that is less than -42" you just need to find the complete opposite of that

OpenStudy (poetryprincess):

How?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is the complete opposite of "less than"

OpenStudy (poetryprincess):

more

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well it's "greater than or equal to"

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you flip the < sign to get > then you add an underline

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the opposite of \(\large x < -42\) is \(\large x \ge -42\)

OpenStudy (poetryprincess):

Oh I see

OpenStudy (poetryprincess):

So the answer is C?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that is correct

OpenStudy (poetryprincess):
