FUNDAMENTAL OF MATHEMATICS

Intervals :
Intervals are basically subsets of R and are commonly used in solving
inequalities or in finding domains. If there are two numbers a, b  R such
that a < b, we can define four types of intervals as follows :

Symbols Used
(i) Open interval : (a, b) = {x : a < x < b} i.e. end points are not included.
( ) or ] [
(ii) Closed interval : [a, b] = {x : a  x  b} i.e. end points are also
included. []
This is possible only when both a and b are finite.
(iii) Open-closed interval : (a, b] = {x : a < x  b}
( ] or ] ]
(iv) Closed - open interval : [a, b) = x : a  x < b}
[ ) or [ [

The infinite intervals are defined as follows :


(i) (a, ) = {x : x > a} (ii) [a, ) = {x : x  a}
(iii) (– , b) = {x : x < b} (iv) (, b] = {x : x  b}
(v) (– ) = {x : x  R}

Properties of Modulus :
For any a, b  R
|a|  0, |a| = |–a|, |a|  a, |a|  –a, |ab| = |a| |b|,
a |a|
= , |a + b|  |a| + |b|, |a – b|  ||a| – |b||
b |b|
