To express the solution to the inequality \( 4y + 1 > 17 \) in set notation, we first solve the inequality:
-
Subtract 1 from both sides: \[ 4y > 16 \]
-
Divide by 4: \[ y > 4 \]
In set notation, the solution can be expressed as: \[ { y \in \mathbb{R} \mid y > 4 } \] This indicates that \( y \) is a member of the set of real numbers (\( \mathbb{R} \)) such that \( y \) is greater than 4.
