Capitolo 2, Problema 23

In Exercises 15–26, use graphs to find each set. [3, ∞) ∩ (6, ∞)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the two sets given: \([3, \infty)\) and \((6, \infty)\). The first set includes all numbers from 3 to infinity, including 3, and the second set includes all numbers greater than 6, but not including 6.
Visualize each set on a number line: For \([3, \infty)\), shade the line starting at 3 (including 3) and extending to the right indefinitely. For \((6, \infty)\), shade the line starting just after 6 (not including 6) and extending to the right indefinitely.
To find the intersection \([3, \infty) \cap (6, \infty)\), look for the region where both shaded areas overlap on the number line.
Since \((6, \infty)\) starts after 6 and \([3, \infty)\) starts at 3, the overlap will be all numbers greater than 6 (because the second set is more restrictive).
Express the intersection set in interval notation, which will be the set of all numbers greater than 6, not including 6, extending to infinity.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Interval Notation

Interval notation is a way to represent sets of real numbers using brackets and parentheses. Square brackets [ ] include endpoints, while parentheses ( ) exclude them. For example, [3, ∞) includes all numbers from 3 to infinity, including 3.

Interval Notation

Set Intersection

The intersection of two sets includes all elements common to both sets. For intervals, this means finding the overlapping region on the number line where both intervals exist simultaneously.

Graphing Intervals on the Number Line

Graphing intervals involves shading the portion of the number line that corresponds to the interval. This visual helps identify overlaps and intersections by showing where intervals coincide.
