Answer

The set includes all the points outside the circle $x^2+y^2 = 4$ Note that the points on the circle are not included in the set.

Work Step by Step

$\{(x,y)\vert~x^2+y^2 \gt 4 ~\}$ We can write the general equation for a circle: $(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2 = r^2$ where $(a,b)$ is the center of the circle and $r$ is the radius The set includes all the points outside the circle $x^2+y^2 = 4$ The center of the circle is $(0,0)$ and the radius of the circle is $2$ Note that the points on the circle are not included in the set.
