Answer:

(a) x < 0

(b) y ≥ 0

(c) q ≤ π

Explanation:

Symbol notation

  • < means "less than".
  • > means "greater than".
  • ≤ means "less than or equal to".
  • ≥ means "greater than or equal to".
  • = means "equals".

A negative real number is any real number that is less than zero.

A positive real number is any real number that is greater than zero.

Zero is neither positive nor negative.

(a) x is negative → x < 0.

If x is negative, then x is less than zero.

(b) y is nonnegative → y ≥ 0.

Nonnegative means not negative.

Therefore, y is more than or equal to zero.

(c) q is less than or equal to π → q ≤ π.
