\mleft\lbrace x\in\mathfrak{\Re }\colon x\ge3\mright\rbrace\text{ or simply x}\ge3

1.Examining the picture, the number line we can write the following inequality to express it


\begin{gathered} \mleft\lbrace x\in\mathfrak{\Re }\colon\text{ x}\ge\text{ 3}\mright\rbrace\text{ or simply x}\ge3 \\ \end{gathered}

So the answer expresses this set. A range of values.

Since the number line is infinite, then it does not stop at 11.

Alternatively, we can write:


\mleft\lbrace x\in\mathfrak{\Re }\colon3\leq x\leq\infty\mright\rbrace
