A compound statement is made up of more than one equation or inequality. A disjunction is a compound statement that uses the word or. Disjunction: x ≤ –3 ORx > 2 Set builder notation: {x|x ≤ –3 Ux > 2} A disjunction is true if and only if at least one of its parts is true.
Conjunction: x ≥ –3 ANDx < 2 Set builder notation: {x|x ≥ –3 x < 2}. A conjunction is true if and only if all of its parts are true. Conjunctions can be written as a single statement as shown. x ≥ –3 and x< 2 –3 ≤ x < 2 U A conjunction is a compound statement that uses the word and.
Reading Math Dis- means “apart.” Disjunctions have two separate pieces. Con- means “together” Conjunctions represent one piece.

Recall that the absolute value of a number x, written |x|, is the distance from x to zero on the number line. Because absolute value represents distance without regard to direction, the absolute value of any real number is nonnegative.
Absolute-value equations and inequalities can be represented by compound statements. Consider the equation |x| = 3. The solutions of |x|=3 are the two points that are 3 units from zero. The solution is a disjunction: x = –3 or x = 3.
The solutions of |x|<3 are the points that are less than 3 units from zero. The solution is a conjunction: –3 <x <3.
The solutions of |x|>3 are the points that are more than 3 units from zero. The solution is a disjunction: x < –3 or x > 3.
Helpful Hint Think: Greator inequalities involving > or ≥ symbols are disjunctions. Think: Less thand inequalities involving < or ≤ symbols are conjunctions.
Note: The symbol ≤ can replace <, and the rules still apply. The symbol ≥ can replace >, and the rules still apply.
