Math Problem Statement

Select the interval -18 ≤ x < 28 using set notation and interval notation.

Solution

The question in the image asks you to select the interval 18x<28-18 \leq x < 28 using both set notation and interval notation.

  1. Set notation for the interval 18x<28-18 \leq x < 28 is written as: {x  18x<28}\{x \ | \ -18 \leq x < 28\} This means the set of all xx such that xx is between 18-18 and 2828, including 18-18 but not including 2828.

  2. Interval notation for this range is: [18,28)[-18, 28) This indicates a closed interval at 18-18 (meaning it includes 18-18) and an open interval at 2828 (meaning it does not include 2828).

You would select:

  • Set notation: {x  18x<28}\{x \ | \ -18 \leq x < 28\}
  • Interval notation: [18,28)[-18, 28)

Would you like more details or have any questions about these notations?

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. How would you write 10<x15-10 < x \leq 15 in both set and interval notation?
  2. What is the difference between open and closed intervals?
  3. Can you explain when we use round and square brackets in interval notation?
  4. How does interval notation change if both endpoints are included?
  5. How can we represent unbounded intervals, such as when x>5x > 5?

Tip: Always remember that closed intervals use square brackets [][ ] and open intervals use round brackets ()( ).
