SYMBOLS
When reading set notation or graphing on number lines, we need to recognize certain symbols and
know what they mean.
¿ greater than
¿ less than
≥ greater than or equal to
≤ less than or equal to
≠ not equal to
open dot: up to but not including that number
closed dot: number is included
______________: The set of first elements in an ordered pair (all possible x-values)
______________: The set of second elements in an ordered pair (all possible y-values)
_______ NOTATION:
{ x ∈ R| x< 3 } is read “x is an element of real numbers, such that x is less than 3.”
_______________________:
a) {x ∈ R /x >3 }
b) {x ∈ R /x ≤ 4 }
c) {x ∈ R /−1 ≤ x< 2}
Example: State the domain and range for the following relations.
a) { ( 1 , 2 ) , ( 3 , 4 ) , (5 , 6 ) , ( 7 , 8 ) } b) c) d)
