Answer:

{x ∈ R: x<6}

Explanation:

Given

  • x is a real number
  • x is less than 6

Required

Write the set using set builder notation

The very first thing to do is to list out the range of x, using inequalities;

x is less than 6 implies that -infiniti < x < 6

The next step is to translate this to set builder. This is done as follows

x ∈ R - > This means that x is a real number

x < 6 -> where x is less than 6.

Bringing these two together, it gives:

{x ∈ R: x<6}

Hence, the set of real numbers x less than 6 is equivalent to {x ∈ R: x<6} using set builder notation
