If y>0, find the range of all possible values of  y such that \(\lceil{y}\rceil\cdot\lfloor{y}\rfloor=42 \). Express your answer using interval notation.

If \(y>0\), find the range of all possible values of  \(y\)  such that  \(\lceil{y}\rceil\cdot\lfloor{y}\rfloor=42.\)

\lceil{y}\rceil\cdot\lfloor{y}\rfloor=42

Express your answer using interval notation.

Mathematica 11 Home Edition gives the following 2  values:
solve ceiling({y}) floor({y}) = 42 for y

-7 < y < -6          and        6 < y < 7
