什么是 Interval?

Definition 1.6 High School Mathematics · 第 1 章 — Numbers and Sets of Numbers

Let aa and bb be real numbers with a<ba < b. An interval is the set of all real numbers between two bounds. A square bracket means the bound is included, a parenthesis means it is excluded:

notationdescription
[a, b]\intcc{a}{b}a≤x≤ba \leq x \leq b (both ends included)
(a, b)\intoo{a}{b}a<x<ba < x < b (both ends excluded)
[a, b)\intco{a}{b}a≤x<ba \leq x < b
(a, b]\intoc{a}{b}a<x≤ba < x \leq b
[a, +∞)\intco{a}{+\infty}x≥ax \geq a
(−∞, b)\intoo{-\infty}{b}x<bx < b

The symbols −∞-\infty and +∞+\infty (“infinity”) are not numbers, only a way of saying that the interval continues forever; the bracket next to them is always a parenthesis. The whole line R\R is the interval (−∞, +∞)\intoo{-\infty}{+\infty}.

Intervals on the number line: a filled dot for an included bound, a hollow dot for an excluded one.

示例

Example 1.13

Solve ∣x−3∣≤2\abs{x - 3} \leq 2. The solutions are the numbers at distance at most 22 from 33: the interval [1, 5]\intcc{1}{5}. Conversely, the interval [−1, 7]\intcc{-1}{7} has center −1+72=3\frac{-1+7}{2} = 3 and radius 7−(−1)2=4\frac{7-(-1)}{2} = 4, so it is described by ∣x−3∣≤4\abs{x - 3} \leq 4.
