You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The set can be written as

8, \ \ x \in \mathbb{R}\right\}\" title=\"\large \left\{x | x < 5 \ \text{or} \ x > 8, \ \ x \in \mathbb{R}\right\}\" /> in set-builder notation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The first part (-oo, 5) means that x < 5 while the second part (8, oo) means that x > 8. So we combine them together with an \"or\" to form the set shown above.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
