Answer to Problem 1RE

Solution:

The elements in the set N, consisting of all negative integers greater than or equal to $-3$, are $-3$, $-2$ and $-1$ or $N=\left\{-3,-2,-1\right\}$.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The set N consists of all negative integers greater than or equal to $-3$.

All negative integers greater than or equal to $-3$ are $-3$, $-2$ and $-1$.

Consider the set N of all negative integers greater than or equal to $-3$,

$N=\left\{-3,-2,-1\right\}$

A set is a collection of items, referred as elements of the set.

Hence, the elements in the set N, consisting of all negative integers greater than or equal to $-3$, are $-3$, $-2$ and $-1$ or $N=\left\{-3,-2,-1\right\}$.
