Which is the set of numbers greater than or equal to −6 and less than 0?Choices:(A){x∣x≤−6 or x≥0}(B)\{x | x \leq -6 \text{ or } x > 0\} (C)\{x | x > -6 \text{ or } x < 0\} (D)\{x | x \geq -6 \text{ and } x < 0\}
Q. Which is the set of numbers greater than or equal to −6 and less than 0?Choices:(A){x∣x≤−6 or x≥0}(B){x∣x≤−6 or x>0}(C){x∣x>−6 or x<0}(D){x∣x≥−6 and x<0}
Understand the problem: Understand the problem.We need to find the set of numbers that are greater than or equal to −6 and also less than 0. This means we are looking for a range of numbers that start at −6 and go up to but do not include 0.
Analyze the choices: Analyze the choices.We need to find the correct set notation that represents the range of numbers from −6 to just below 0. The correct notation will use the "and" conjunction because we want numbers that satisfy both conditions simultaneously.
Eliminate incorrect choices: Eliminate incorrect choices.(A) x∣x≤−6 or x≥0 includes numbers less than or equal to−6 and numbers greater than or equal to 0, which is not what we want.(B) {x | x \leq -6 \text{ or } x > 0} is similar to (A) and also incorrect for the same reason.(C) {x | x > -6 \text{ or } x < 0} uses the “or” conjunction, which would include numbers greater than −6 but not necessarily less than 0, and vice versa. This is not the correct range.(D) {x | x \geq -6 \text{ and } x < 0} uses the “and” conjunction and correctly includes numbers greater than or equal to −6 and less than 0.
Choose the correct answer: Choose the correct answer.The correct set notation that represents the numbers greater than or equal to −6 and less than 0 is (D) \{x \,|\, x \geq -6 \,\text{and}\, x < 0\}.
