Chapter 1.1, Problem 61E

To determine

To graph: the given set.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

An interval is given as

  $\left[-4,6\right]\cap \left[0,8\right)$

Concept used:

An interval $\left(a,b\right)$ in terms of an inequality can be expressed as $a<x<b$ .

An interval $\left[a,b\right]$ in terms of an inequality can be expressed as $a\le x\le b$ .

An interval $\left[a,b\right)$ in terms of an inequality can be expressed as $a\le x<b$ .

An interval $\left(a,b\right]$ in terms of an inequality can be expressed as $a<x\le b$ .

An interval $\left(-\infty ,b\right]$ in terms of an inequality can be expressed as $x\le b$ .

An interval $\left(-\infty ,b\right)$ in terms of an inequality can be expressed as $x<b$ .

An interval $\left[a,\infty \right)$ in terms of an inequality can be expressed as $x\ge a$ .

An interval $\left(a,\infty \right)$ in terms of an inequality can be expressed as $x>a$ .

For any two or more sets, intersection of the sets gives the elements which are the only common elements of the sets. Intersection is represented by the symbol $\cap$ .

Calculation:

Consider the given interval.

  $\left[-4,6\right]\cap \left[0,8\right)$

Let us consider a variable x o express the inequality.

So, the interval can be expressed as an inequality as $-4\le x<6\cap 0\le x<8$ .

Combining the interval will be $0\le x\le 6=\left[0,6\right]$

Graph:

Now, graph the interval on number line as shown:

  

Here, $0\text{and}6$ both the points are included to the interval so, closed balls are placed for $0\text{and}6$ on the number line.
