Which is the set of numbers greater than −3 and less than 4?Choices:(A){x∣x≥−3 and x≤4}(B)\{x | x < -3 \text{ and } x > 4\} (C)\{x | x > -3 \text{ and } x < 4\} (D){x∣x≤−3 and x≥4}
Q. Which is the set of numbers greater than −3 and less than 4?Choices:(A){x∣x≥−3 and x≤4}(B){x∣x<−3 and x>4}(C){x∣x>−3 and x<4}(D){x∣x≤−3 and x≥4}
Understand the problem: Understand the problem. We need to find the set of numbers that are greater than −3 and also less than 4.
Identify inequality signs: Identify the correct inequality signs for the conditions given. For numbers greater than −3, we use the > sign. For numbers less than 4, we use the < sign.
Combine conditions in set notation: Combine the two conditions with the correct inequality signs to form the set notation. The set notation should include both conditions: numbers greater than −3 and numbers less than 4.
Review choices: Review the choices given and match them with our set notation from Step 3. We are looking for a choice that correctly represents both conditions: x > -3 and x < 4.
Choice (A) analysis: Choice (A) x∣x≥−3 and x≤4 includes numbers that are equal to −3 and 4, which is not what we want because we need numbers strictly greater than −3 and strictly less than 4.
Choice (B) analysis: Choice (B) {x | x < -3 \text{ and } x > 4} represents numbers that are less than −3 and greater than 4, which is the opposite of what we are looking for.
Choice (C) analysis: Choice (C) {x | x > -3 \text{ and } x < 4} correctly represents the set of numbers that are greater than −3 and less than 4. This matches our set notation from Step 3.
Choice (D) analysis: Choice (D) x∣x≤−3 and x≥4 includes numbers that are equal to −3 and 4, and also represents the set of numbers that are less than or equal to−3 and greater than or equal to 4, which is not the correct set.
