Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Interval Notation
Interval notation is a mathematical notation used to represent a range of values on the real number line. It uses parentheses and brackets to indicate whether endpoints are included or excluded. For example, (2, ∞) means all numbers greater than 2, where 2 is not included, and ∞ indicates that there is no upper limit.

Interval Notation
Set-Builder Notation
Set-builder notation is a concise way to describe a set by specifying a property that its members must satisfy. For the interval (2, ∞), the set-builder notation would be {x | x > 2}, meaning 'the set of all x such that x is greater than 2.' This notation is particularly useful for defining infinite sets.

Interval Notation
Graphing Intervals
Graphing intervals on a number line visually represents the range of values included in the interval. For (2, ∞), you would draw an open circle at 2 (indicating that 2 is not included) and shade the line to the right towards infinity, illustrating that all numbers greater than 2 are part of the interval.
