All intervals are elements of Real Numbers. Oftentimes you have to write the sign of f(x) according to the intervals. For example this graph: The Interval - f(x) sign table looks as such:
Positive/Negative regions | - | - | - | - |
---|---|---|---|---|
Interval | -inf → -2 | -2 ⇒ 1 | 1 → 3 | 3 → inf |
SIgn of f(x) | - | + | - | + |
Writing Inequalities
X < -5 U x > 3
