This topic involves interpreting inequalities describing the domain and range of functions and translating them into verbal descriptions. It specifically focuses on scenarios where sets are combined using union, indicating a range that consists of multiple intervals. For each problem, users are presented with an inequality and multiple choice answers to select the correct verbal interpretation of the inequality. This skill falls under the broader category of understanding functions’ domain and range, crucial in algebra and precalculus contexts.
