Whats the question

Proly js -6 going left to infinity tjen

Since left id minus and right is positive on a number line

interval notation is a way to write intervals. an interval is basically “the part between this number and this other number”

interval notation looks like this:

$$
\left\textcolor{gray}{(}a, b\right\textcolor{gray}{)}
$$

the left number (a) is the smallest number

the right number (b) is the largest number

the brackets represent inclusion

what that means is

[2, 6] means that it’s all numbers between 2 and 6, including 2 and 6

so 2, 3, 4, 5.3, 6, and π are all included

on the other hand, (2, 6) does NOT include 2 and 6

so 2.00001 and 5.9999 are still included, but 2 and 6 are not

your problem is (−∞, −6]

so the smallest number is −∞, which means it would go forever in the negative (←) direction.

the largest number is −6, and it’s included

on number lines, we denote included numbers with a filled in circle $\bullet$, and excluded numbers with a non-filled circle $\circ$
