How do you solve and write the following in interval notation: #x > -2#?

Answer 1

Savannah Anderson

see the solution below

#x > -2#

given that x can accept any value between -2

Consequently, it can be expressed as

#x in( -2, oo)#

notice that the bracket is a closed one [#()#] because the interval is simply greater than -2 not including it. And infinity(#oo#) is always excluded and hence under the open bracket [i.e #()#]

This inequality is already solved for #x#.

We can write it in interval notation as: #(-2, +oo)#

To solve the inequality ( x > -2 ) and write it in interval notation, you would express it as ( x \in (-2, \infty) ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
