Interval Notation
Interval Notation
It is important to note that this notation can only be used to represent an interval of real numbers.
Examples:
|
\((3;11)\) |
Round brackets indicate that the number is not included. This interval includes all real numbers greater than but not equal to \(\text{3}\) and less than but not equal to \(\text{11}\). |
|
\((-\infty ;-2)\) |
Round brackets are always used for positive and negative infinity. This interval includes all real numbers less than, but not equal to \(-\text{2}\). |
|
\([1;9)\) |
A square bracket indicates that the number is included. This interval includes all real numbers greater than or equal to \(\text{1}\) and less than but not equal to \(\text{9}\). |
