Study Notes
Interval Notation
- The symbol for a closed interval from $a$ to $b$ is $[a, b]$.
- The symbol for an open interval from $a$ to $b$ is $(a, b)$.
- The interval $[1, 5]$ would represent $1 \leq x \leq 5$.
- The interval $(a, b)$ is an open interval, meaning it does not include the endpoints $a$ and $b$.
- The set notation for a closed interval with $a = 1$ and $b = 5$ is ${x | 1 \leq x \leq 5}$.
