Question

could it be explained please when you answer something in set builder notation and when you answer something in interval notation. I think I understand the differences between them, but don't understand why there are both of them and when they are needed. Thank you.

So, do you just want to know the difference between builder notation and interval notation and why they are needed?

Set Builder Notation Examples:

{y : y > 0} The set of all y such that y is greater than 0. Any value greater than 0.
{y : y ≠ 15} The set of all y such that y is any number except 15. Any value except 15.
{y : y < 7} The set of all y such that y is any number less than 7. Any value less than 7.


Common Set Notation:

|A|, called cardinality of A, denotes the number of elements of A. For example, if A={(1,2),(3,4)}, then |A|=2. A=B if and only if they have precisely the same elements. For example, if A={4,9} and B={n2:n=2 or n=3}, then A=B.

yes, thank you, I know HOW to answer in each of these, I just want to know WHEN to answer in either of these. Why do we need two different ways to notate.

This is what I know, I don't know why we need two different ways to notate but......

(This is what I know):
In linguistics and semiotics, a notation is a system of graphics or symbols, characters and abbreviated expressions, used (for example) in artistic and scientific disciplines to represent technical facts and quantities by convention.

This is why we use notations. (Sorry I don't know the answer to your question.)
