Interval Notation Concepts

Open Interval: Endpoints are not included, represented as (a, b).
Closed Interval: Includes both endpoints, denoted by brackets such as [a, b].
Half-Open Interval: One endpoint is included while the other is not, illustrated as [a, b) or (a, b].
Non-ending Interval: Expressed with infinity; infinity is always treated as an open endpoint.

Examples of Interval Notation

Non-ending Interval Example: Illustrated as (-∞, x] showing an interval that extends indefinitely to the left but includes x.
Half-Open Interval Example: (1, ∞) showcases an interval that starts at 1 (not included) and goes indefinitely towards positive infinity.
Open Interval Example: (1, 5) represents an interval that excludes both endpoints, covering all values between 1 and 5.
Closed Interval Example: [1, 5] indicates that both endpoints are included, encompassing all numbers from 1 to 5 inclusive.
