This math topic focuses on translating between verbal descriptions of domains and ranges of functions to mathematical inequalities, specifically involving unions which represent composite conditions. The problems challenge learners to convert phrases like "all real numbers less than -2 OR greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 9" into appropriate inequality statements, integrating the use of the union symbol in inequalities.
