Which interval is correct for showing (x<-7) and (x>12) together on the number line?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ((-\infty,-7)\cup(12,\infty))

The direct answer is option B, (-∞,-7)∪(12,∞). The condition x<-7 describes every number strictly less than -7, so its interval is (-∞,-7); the round bracket at -7 shows that -7 is excluded. The condition x>12 describes numbers strictly greater than 12, giving (12,∞); 12 is also excluded. Since the word ‘and’ here asks to show both separate regions together on the number line, the union symbol ∪ joins them. Option A, (-7,12), contains numbers between the endpoints, which is the opposite region. Option B correctly shows both outer parts and excludes both endpoints. Option C uses square brackets and incorrectly includes -7 and 12. Option D, [-7,12], shows the middle closed interval, not either strict inequality. Exam cue: < and > use round brackets; separate pieces use union.
