Math Problem Statement

Fill in the blank to describe this inequality with interval notation: -3 < x ≤ 4

Solution

The inequality shown in the image is:

3<x4-3 < x \leq 4

To write this in interval notation:

  • At 3-3, there is an open circle, indicating that 3-3 is not included in the interval. So, we use a parenthesis ((.
  • At 44, there is a closed circle, indicating that 44 is included in the interval. So, we use a bracket [[.

Thus, the interval notation for this inequality is:

(3,4](-3, 4]

Tip:

Always pay attention to the type of circle (open or closed) on the number line when translating to interval notation; open circles mean parentheses, and closed circles mean brackets.
