How would I interval notate this (comments)? :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First what does it mean when it's open?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

open circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That, that number isn't included.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So now look at from where it's not included?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Didn't get that part.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-5,2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

( <= meaning not included [ <= included

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the whole thing goes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great Scott Batman! Are you saying it's that space between the two lines?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that area is not included so finish off the interval

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-15, -5] u [2 5)? ._.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not included rememebr :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait let me look at it again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, garfunkle! Alright o3o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're right unless you guys are using infinity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think that is how it wants it (the website I work on) since it talks about noting infinity.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k one sec then your interval is this, yours is wrong because -15 and 5 are icnluded

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay :c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you absolutely super duper ultra mega sure? o.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm a bit rusty on this, but I'd say it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Want me to check now and let you know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Says incorrect :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it should be open parentheses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what grade is this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does this meaning anything to you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Grade 10 :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*cough* meaning? *cough*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

With what you gave makes me use infinity..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(-\infty,-5)\cup(2,\infty)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because XER you have to use infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ready to put in the correct-a-fier?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WE DID IT BATSY! WE DID IT!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it was right :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I had a feeling, because when I saw XER there was no other way I could have used the interval

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was darn diddly do da right you ol' Bat you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you for your time and patience.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha, anytime, but it's basically saying, XER = all real numbers are included except for the interval between -5, and 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyways take care and best of luck!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sanka you.
