Given the set and the set , find the range of values for the real number such that .
Solution
Solution: According to the problem, if , then . We will discuss this in three cases:
1. When , or equivalently , we have . If , then we have the system of inequalities . Solving this system, we get . However, since , the condition is satisfied when .
In summary, the condition holds when . Therefore, the range of values for is .
