Inequalities can be shown using set notation: {`x`: inequality} where `x:` indicates the variable being described and inequality is written as an inequality, normally in its simplest form. The colon means such that. For example: `{x: x > 5}`. This is read as `x` such that `x` is greater than > 5.
Set difference: If \(S\) and \(T\) are sets, \(S \backslash T = \{s \in S:s \not \in T\}\). Cardinality or size: If a set is finite, then the number of elements in the set is called its cardinality or size. We denote the cardinality of a set \(A\) using \(|A|\).
We can also use inequalities, or other statements that might define sets of values or data, to describe the behavior of the variable in set-builder notation. For example, \(\{x|10≤x<30\}\) describes the behavior of x in set-builder notation.
Set notation and solving inequalities. (5/31/07) Overview: Inequalities are almost as important as equations in calculus. Many functions’ domains are intervals, which are defined by inequalities. Inequalities are needed to study where functions have positive and negative values.

What is the set notation for an inequality? Let's consider the inequality x > 1 x>1 x > 1 . The solutions to this inequality are all of the values of x x x that are greater than 1.
In mathematics, an inequality is a relation which makes a non-equal comparison between two numbers or other mathematical expressions. [1] It is used most often to compare two numbers on the number line by their size. The main types of inequality are less than and greater than.

Inequalities. In this section we add the axioms describe the behavior of inequal-ities (the order axioms) to the list of axioms begun in Chapter 1. A thorough mastery of this section is essential as analysis is based on inequalities. Before describing the additional axioms, however, let us first ask, “What, exactly, is an inequality?”
