Q. What does the set {x∣x<8} represent?Choices:(A)all numbers less than or equal to 8(B)all numbers less than 8(C)all numbers equal to 8(D)all numbers greater than 8
Understand set notation: Understand the set notation.The set {x | x < 8} uses the inequality sign < which means less than. This set includes all numbers that are less than 8.
Match set notation to choices: Match the set notation to the given choices.We need to find which choice correctly describes the set of numbers less than 8.(A) "all numbers less than or equal to 8" includes 8, which does not match our set because our set does not include 8.(B) "all numbers less than 8" matches our set notation exactly.(C) "all numbers equal to 8" does not match because our set does not include the number 8 itself.(D) "all numbers greater than 8" is the opposite of what our set represents.
