{36,37,38,39,...59} I came up with : {40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50,...58} can someone tell me if this is right, please?

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

What is the question asking for?

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

From what I see they gave you some list of numbers from 36 to 59. And you found a list of numbers from 40 to 58. So, I understand what you did, but to know if it's correct, we'll need to know what the original question/instructions were. :)

it says to use inequality notation to express the condition x must meet in order to be a member of the set

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

Oh... I see. They just want you to use an equation to describe what is happening.

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

So, look, all the numbers are between 36 and 59. They also include 36 and 59.

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

To write our english word "in between" in mathematics we use two inequality signs \[36 \leq x \leq 59\] we are done! See how the "x" (any number you want) sits between the 36 and 59 just like the list they gave you? This is just a much shorter way of writing it. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats it?

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

Also, we use the "less than or equal" since 36 and 59 were allowed.

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

Yep, that should be enough.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow thanks!

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

We used "inequality notation" and we expressed the "condition x must meet to be in the set". No problem! :)
