does anyone here knows how to Write each interval as an inequality?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i do

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay cause my teacher doesn't explain anything-.-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-1, 10]

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

if it's (a,b) -> a<x<b it its [a,b] -> a<=x<b just apply that logic

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

-1<x<=10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you need to graph it to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i do!

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

sorry, I meant it its [a,b] -> a<=x<=b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what if there is ( & ]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like; [25, 50)

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

(a,b] -> a<x<=b [a,b) -> a<=x<b

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

[25, 50) 25 <=x<50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if its a negative you need to change the sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it say interval notation or set builder

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you! and what about like the 8 that is turned around. the infinity sign.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[[3, \infty)\]

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

same rules apply. however, it can NEVER be \[(a,\infty]\] meaning there can NEVER be a ] next to the infinity sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you do this one, so i can have an example? :)

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

Actually, I was mistaken. Same rules do not apply, sorry. that would mean: \[x \ge 3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so it's x > 3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\ge\] *

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

Nope, greater than or equal to three. Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!! :))

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

and \[(\infty, b]\] means \[x \le b\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay! thanks!! <3

OpenStudy (slaaibak):

Pleasure :)
