Question

Express the interval using inequality notation.
[-8, 1]

Answer 1

The interval
`\([-8, 1]\)` can be expressed using inequality notation as:

`\[-8 \leq x \leq 1\]`

In this notation,
`\(x\)` is the variable that can take on any value within the interval. The square brackets
`\([ \text{ and } ]\)` indicate that the endpoints
`\(-8\)` and
`\(1\)` are included in the interval, which is why we use the "less than or equal to"
`\(\leq\)` symbols.
