\begin{gathered} a)\lbrack0,inf) \\ b)(-\imaginaryI nf,8\operatorname{\rbrack} \\ c)(-4,\imaginaryI nf) \\ d)\lbrack12,inf) \\ e)(-\imaginaryI nf,-8\operatorname{\rbrack} \end{gathered}Step-by-step explanation

A closed interval is one that includes its endpoints,. An open interval is one that does not include its endpoints


\begin{gathered} (a,b)\rightarrow open \\ \lbrack a,b\rbrack\Rightarrow closed \end{gathered}

Step 1

a)


0\leq x

this inequlity represent all the values greater or equal than zero , so from zero to positive infinite


\lbrack0,inf)

Step 2

b)


x\leq8

all the values smaller or equal than 8, so from negative infinite to eighth


(-inf,8\rbrack

c)


-4all the values greater than -4 ( note that -4 is not included, so open interval)[tex](-4,inf)

d)


12\leq x

all the values greater or equalto 12


\lbrack12,inf)

e)


x\leq8

all the values greater or equal to -8, hence


(-inf,-8\rbrack

I hope this helps you
