|x|

Enter inequality for interval notation:


  
Display the interval notation for:
|x|<3

Interval Notation Definition:

An interval as a set of numbers.
Numbers = endpoints.
Because we have an absolute value
We have two equations that we form:

Use this procedure

Given this, we form our two equations:

In interval notation, express as an or statement
Since we have an or statement
We break this up into two pieces
Piece 1 → x<3
Piece 2 → x>-3

Evaluate Piece 1

You entered the < sign
Start on the right side of x<3

Build the interval notation for x:

No equal sign translates to ).
Do not include the number 3
The left side extends to -∞

Set Builder Notation for x:

{ x | x<3 } where | denotes such that

Evaluate Piece 2

You entered the < sign
Start on the left side of x>-3

Build the interval notation for x:

No equal sign translates to (.
Do not include the number -3
The right side extends to +∞

Set Builder Notation for x:

{ x | x<3 } where | denotes such that

Form our interval notation for x:

(-∞,3) U (-3,+∞)


Display the literal notation for x

-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,...,∞


What is the Answer?

(-3,+∞)
