Sets: Draw a set for [-3, 3/2) (upside down U) (3/2, 5/2]

Draw a set for [-3, 3/2) (upside down U) (3/2, 5/2]

Since it's an upside down U which means union or and, do I highlight what is in between these intervals?

Actually, it's the "U" which indicates "union"; the other symbol indicates "intersection". I'm afraid I don't understand the rest of what you said...?

To learn about set notation, please study at least two lessons from this listing. Once you have learned the basic terms and techniques, please attempt the exercise. If you get stuck, you can then reply with a clarification of your original posting (such as what you're talking about when you mention "highlighting"), a clear listing of your work and reasoning so far, and a specification of how this exercise requires calculus (because it looks like pre-algebra).

Thank you!

The "upside down U" is the "intersection" and means all those numbers that are in both intervals. But the first interval only include those numbers that are less than 3/2 (NOT 3/2 itself) while the second interval includes only number larger than 3/2. What does that tell you about the "intersection"?
