Math Problem Statement
What interval does this graph show?
Solution
The graph displayed in the image shows an interval marked between 1 (an open circle) and 5 (a closed circle) on the number line.
- The open circle at 1 indicates that the interval does not include 1.
- The closed circle at 5 means that the interval includes 5.
Therefore, the correct notation for this interval is . This is called a "half-open" or "half-closed" interval.

Here are 5 related questions to further explore:
- What is the difference between open, closed, and half-open intervals?
- How do you represent intervals on a number line?
- Can you explain interval notation and its applications in inequalities?
- What happens when both ends of an interval are open or closed?
- How are intervals used in functions and calculus?
Tip: Always pay attention to whether circles on a graph are open or closed, as they define whether endpoints are included in an interval.
