Understanding Inequalities and Set Builder Notation

The video tutorial explains how to write inequalities from graphs and introduces set builder notation as a concise way to express solutions. It covers four examples, each demonstrating how to interpret and write inequalities using set builder notation. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the notation's components and how it simplifies expressing conditions.

What is the main task introduced in the video?

• Solving equations

• Writing inequalities for graphs

• Calculating probabilities

• Drawing graphs

What does an open circle shaded to the left represent in an inequality?

• Not equal to

• Equal to

• Less than

• Greater than

What does the inequality x < 13 mean in terms of graph representation?

• Closed circle at 13, shaded to the left

• Open circle at 13, shaded to the right

• Closed circle at 13, shaded to the right

• Open circle at 13, shaded to the left

What is set builder notation used for?

How do you read the set builder notation for x < 13?

• The set of all x such that x is equal to 13

• The set of all x such that x is less than 13

• The set of all x such that x is not equal to 13

• The set of all x such that x is greater than 13

What is the purpose of using set builder notation?
