Download Interval Notation Examples PNG. In mathematics, a (real) interval is a set of real numbers that contains all real numbers lying between any two numbers of the set. That means up to and including $10.
For counting all the numbers between the two endpoints, including the two endpoints. That is, all real numbers x with a < x < b. Interval notation provides a convenient abbreviated notation for expressing intervals of real numbers without using inequality symbols or set‐builder notation.
The following lists some common intervals.
We use interval notation to represent subsets of real numbers. The infinity symbols and are used to indicate that the set is unbounded in the positive ( ) or negative ( ) direction of the real number line. It explains how to express the solution of an inequality using a number. Interval notation is a simplified form of writing the solution to an inequality or system of inequalities, using the for example, the solution 3 < x < 5 is written (3,5) in interval notation, because x cannot.
