Q. What does the set {x∣x>−6 and x<−3} represent?Choices:(A)all numbers less than or equal to −6 and greater than or equal to −3(B)all numbers greater than −6 and less than −3(C)all numbers greater than or equal to −6 and less than or equal to −3(D)all numbers greater than −6 and less than or equal to −3
Understand Set Notation: Understand the set notation and the conditions it represents.The set {x | x > -6 \text{ and } x < -3} describes all the numbers x that satisfy two conditions simultaneously: x must be greater than −6 and also less than −3.
Analyze First Condition: Analyze the first condition x > -6.This condition means that we are looking for numbers that are on the number line to the right of −6, but not including −6 itself.
Analyze Second Condition: Analyze the second condition x < -3. This condition means that we are looking for numbers that are on the number line to the left of −3, but not including −3 itself.
Combine Conditions: Combine both conditions to understand the set.Since we need numbers that satisfy both conditions, we are looking for numbers that are between −6 and −3, not including −6 and −3 themselves.
Match Given Choices: Match the combined conditions to the given choices.The set of numbers that are greater than −6 and less than −3 is correctly represented by choice (B) all numbers greater than −6 and less than −3.
