Final answer:

To solve the inequalities and write the answers in interval notation, you need to understand the symbols used in inequalities and the meaning of different interval notations.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve inequalities and write the answers in interval notation, we need to first understand the symbols used in inequalities:

  • < represents less than
  • > represents greater than
  • ≤ represents less than or equal to
  • ≥ represents greater than or equal to
  • ∩ represents intersection (AND)
  • ∪ represents union (OR)

a. In interval notation, (Answer1, Answer2) denotes an open interval where the endpoints are excluded, while [Answer1, Answer2] denotes a closed interval where the endpoints are included.

b. In interval notation, [Answer1, Answer2] denotes a closed interval where the endpoints are included.

c. In interval notation, (Answer1, Answer2) denotes an open interval where the endpoints are excluded.

d. In interval notation, [Answer1, [infinity]) denotes a closed interval where the beginning point is included and there is no endpoint.
