In this question, they say in interval notation, the set of all x's such that x is greater than or equal to negative 2 and less than 5, union the set of all x's such that x is greater than negative 3 but less than 7, is expressed as bracket negative 2 comma 5, parenthesis, union, parenthesis, negative 3 comma 7.
00:24
And what is that equal to? so here's a number line.
00:28
Line.

So the first set, negative 2 to 5, negative 2 to 5, looks like this, whereas the set negative 3 to 7 looks like this.
00:49
Now the union of two sets is defined to be anything that's in at least one one of those sets.
00:57
And so the larger set, open interval negative 3 to 7, completely encompasses the interval from negative 2 to 5.
01:05
And so therefore, the set of all points that's in at least one of those sets is open interval negative 3 to 7.
01:15
In the next one, suppose a is the set of x values where x is greater than or equal to negative 3.
01:23
B is the set of x values that are less than 5.
01:26
And c is the set of x values that are greater than negative 2 and less than or equal to 7, i want to know which of the following statements is or are true.
01:38
So let's graph.
01:39
So a is the set of all points greater than or equal to negative 3.
01:50
B is the set of all points that are less than 5...
