I'm confused when you have to state that x R.

e.g. is it okay to state 0 < x < 3 and x R, or does this not make 'grammatical' sense. If so, when should i use x R? what about for x > 0 and x R, where the domain is 'less restricted' so to speak

That's fine. This means that x can take any real value that is more than zero, but less than 3. We normally represent it using set notation though, as there is a set of values x can take, e.g. {xR: 0<x<3}\{x \in \mathbb R: \ 0<x<3 \} where the colon is used to mean "such that".

You should specify x in R each time

There is no need for the and

thanks, the mark scheme doesn't specify but it's good to have clarity
