Question

How many integers are between -1 and 6?

Answer 1

how far did you get with this?

Answer 2

I got the answer 7, is that correct?

Answer 3

can you list the integers between -1 and 6?

Answer 4

-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6

Answer 5

assuming we don't include the endpoints (-1 and 6) we will have this

0,1,2,3,4,5

Answer 6

if you do include the endpoints, we'll have this

-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6

Answer 7

so depending on how you look at it, the answer is either 6 or 8

I think it's 6 because I think the book/teacher is looking for numbers strictly between the endpoints (ie not including them)

Answer 8

Thanks a lot! I didn't know if I had to include the numbers

Answer 9

yeah sometimes you want to include them when you say "between", but I think they want you to exclude them
