The problem asks for the integers between -8 and 2, not inclusive. This means we do not include -8 and 2 themselves.

Integers between -8 and 2 are:

• -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1

Correct Set Notation:

$\{-7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1\}$

Since this is not an empty set, the correct option is:

• Option A: The set is $\{-7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1\}$.

Would you like me to explain this in more detail or clarify any specific part?

Quick Tip:

When working with inequalities or ranges, always double-check whether the endpoints are included (≤, ≥) or excluded (<, >) to avoid common mistakes.
