Question

The cost of John’s bike(p) cannot exceed $5,000. Write this sentence in the form of a set notation.

Answer 1

`p = \ \ x \in Q^+ \ and \ x \leq \$5,000 \`

Explanation:

The expression for the cost of John's bike (p) using set notation can written as follows;

We note that the cost of the bike is a member of the positive rational number and the cost price of the bike cannot exceed $5,000, therefore, it is less than or equal to $5,000, therefore, we get the following set notation;

`p = \ \ x \in Q^+ \ and \ x \leq \$5,000 \`
