Interval Notation Calculator

The Interval Notation Calculator is a tool designed for expressing intervals in a simplified format. Intervals are a way to describe a set of numbers between a start and an endpoint. This notation is commonly used in mathematics to express the solution sets of inequalities or to specify a range of numbers. Interval notation uses brackets and parentheses to indicate whether endpoints are included or excluded.

For using the Interval Notation Calculator, follow the steps below -

Step 1: Input: Enter the inequality or the range of numbers

Step 2: Click: Calculate Interval. The input will be processed to provide the interval notation

Step 3: You will see the interval notation in the output column

Here are some tips to help you use the Interval Notation Calculator effectively.

Understand the Symbols: In interval notation, square brackets [ ] indicate that an endpoint is included, while parentheses ( ) indicate that it is excluded.

Use Correct Inequalities: Make sure to write inequalities correctly; for example, use ≤ or ≥ when endpoints are included, and < or > when they are not.

Double-Check Numbers: Ensure you enter the correct values for your interval or inequality to avoid errors in the result.

• Interval: A set of numbers lying between two endpoints, expressed using brackets and parentheses.

• Endpoint: A point at the end of an interval, which may or may not be included in the interval.

• Infinity (∞): A concept representing an unbounded value, used in interval notation to indicate a range that extends indefinitely.

• Bracket: A symbol [ ] used in interval notation to include an endpoint.

• Parenthesis: A symbol ( ) used in interval notation to exclude an endpoint.
