0 ≤ X < 4
X ≥ 2
Consider the inequalities:
{ X | ___________ }
{ X | 0 ≤ X < 4 }
{ X | X ≥ 2 }

5. ……...Interval..
…./..Notation
0 ≤ X < 4
Consider the inequality:
[ 0,4 )

6. ...Domain

….....Range
Range: The set of all second
elements; dependent variables
Domain: The set of all first
elements of the ordered pair;
independent variable
Domain = { 0, 12, 14, 16, 18 }
Range = { 31, 36, 48, 53, 65 }
