Question

What is the solution set of {x | x < -3} ∩ {x | x > 5}?

the empty set
all numbers except -3 and 5
all real numbers
the numbers between -3 and 5

Answer 1

Answer:

the empty set  {∅}

Step-by-step explanation:

{x | x < -3} ∩ {x | x > 5} is giving us

(-∞, -3) intersecting (5, ∞).

Since those two intervals do not intersect the solution is the empty set
