Practice Interval Notation in Math

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

A shorthand for writing all real numbers in a range, using parentheses for excluded endpoints and square brackets for included endpoints.

Parentheses mean the endpoint is NOT included; square brackets mean it IS included. For example, (2, 5] means 2 < x \le 5.

Example 1

easy
Write x > 3 in interval notation.

Example 2

medium
Write -2 \leq x < 5 in interval notation.

Example 3

easy
Write x \leq 7 in interval notation.

Example 4

medium
Convert the interval [0, 4) to inequality notation.
