Q. Which is the set of integers greater than or equal to −5 and less than or equal to −1?Choices:(A){−5,−2}(B){−5,−4,−3,−2}(C){−5,−4,−3,−2,−1}(D){−5,−3,−1}
Understand the problem: Understand the problem. We need to find the set of integers that are greater than or equal to −5 and less than or equal to −1.
Identify inequality signs: Identify the inequality signs. The problem asks for numbers greater than or equal to −5, which is represented by the inequality sign ≥, and less than or equal to −1, which is represented by the inequality sign ≤.
Determine satisfying integers: Determine the set of integers that satisfy both conditions. The integers must be greater than or equal to −5 and at the same time less than or equal to −1. This means we start at −5 and count up to −1.
List integers: List the integers that satisfy both conditions. Starting from −5 and counting up to −1 gives us the set \{−5, −4, −3, −2, −1\}.
Match with choices: Match the set we found with the given choices. The correct set is {−5,−4,−3,−2,−1}, which corresponds to choice (C).
