                    Lesson 1

 

                                                            Problem:     

 

                                                                                   

                                                                                             

                                                                                                 

                                                            Solution             means "included" or "closed"

                                                            Step 1:                         

                           

                                                            Solution             means "not included" or "open"

Step 2:                                                                                           

                            

                                                            Solution      U which stands for "union".    

                                                            Step 3:  

 

                                                            Solution      The given statement can be written as: (-4 ,2]  U  [ 6 , 9]

                                                            Step 4:

 

                                                            Solution      Answer: (-4 , 2] U [ 6 , 9]

                                                            Step 5:  

Complete      

 

                                                            Try two practice problems:  

 

 

1.

Write the following inequality in interval notation:

-9 < x  or  4  <  x  <  5 

2.

What is the difference between the number line graphs of these two intervals:   [-3, -1] U (3, 7]?
