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,−3,−1}(D){−5,−4,−3,−2,−1}
Identify Inequality: Identify the inequality that represents the set of integers greater than or equal to −5 and less than or equal to −1. The inequality for greater than or equal to is ≥ and for less than or equal to is ≤. So, we are looking for the set of integers x such that −5≤x≤−1.
List Integers: List all the integers that satisfy the inequality −5≤x≤−1. Starting from −5 and counting up to −1, we get the integers −5, −4, −3, −2, and −1. These are all the integers that are greater than or equal to −5 and less than or equal to −1.
Match Choices: Match the list of integers with the given choices to find the correct set.(A) −5,−2 does not include all the integers between −5 and −1.(B) −5,−4,−3,−2 is missing the integer −1.(C) −5,−3,−1 is missing the integers −4 and −2.(D) −5,−4,−3,−2,−1 includes all the integers from −5 to −1.Therefore, the correct set is (D) −5,−4,−3,−2,−1.
