The notation of the above inequality:
[tex]-3<n<1[/tex]
Can be written as an interval:
[tex]n\in(-3,1)[/tex]
Or group of points on a line that satisfy the linear inequality.
[tex]n\in\mathbb{G}=\{n; -3<n<1\wedge n\in\mathbb{Z}\}[/tex]
Or simply:
[tex]n\in\mathbb{G}=\{-2,-1,0\}[/tex]
Hope this helps.
