Q. Which is the set of numbers less than or equal to −2 or greater than or equal to −1?Choices:(A){x∣x≥−2 or x≤−1}(B){x∣x≤−2 or x≥−1}(C){x∣x≥−2 and x≤−1}(D){x∣x≥−2 or x≥−1}
Understand the problem: Understand the problem. We need to find the set of numbers that are either less than or equal to −2 or greater than or equal to −1.
Identify inequality signs: Identify the correct inequality signs for the conditions given. For "less than or equal to −2", the inequality sign is ≤. For "greater than or equal to −1", the inequality sign is ≥.
Translate into set notation: Translate the conditions into set notation. The set notation for "less than or equal to −2" is x∣x≤−2. The set notation for "greater than or equal to −1" is x∣x≥−1.
Combine conditions logically: Combine the two conditions using the correct logical connector. Since the problem asks for numbers that satisfy either condition, we use "or". The combined set notation is x∣x≤−2 or x≥−1.
Match with given choices: Match the combined set notation to the given choices. The correct choice is (B){x∣x≤−2orx≥−1}.
