The intersection of
(x+1<5) \cap(x-4>-3) is
(1,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is
(x+1<5) \cap(x-4>-3)

To determine the intersection of these two inequalities, let us solve the two inequalities separately.

Consider
x+1<5

Subtracting both sides by 1, we have,


x<4

Also, consider
x-4>-3

Adding both sides by 4, we have,


x>1

Using these two simplified inequalities in the expression, we have,


(x<4) \cap(x>1)

Writing this in the interval notation, we get,


(-\infty, 4) \cap(1, \infty)

Hence, the intersection of the two interval is


(1,4)

Thus, the intersection of
(x+1<5) \cap(x-4>-3) is
(1,4)
