Provide an appropriate response.Explain why the conjunction -1 < x and x < 4 can be rewritten as  but the disjunction  cannot be rewritten as 

What will be an ideal response?


By definition, the notation -1 < x < 4 indicates that . A solution of the disjunction -1 < x OR x < 4 must be in at least one of these sets but not necessarily in both, so the disjunction cannot be written as -1 < x < 4.
