Definition of Interval
An interval is part of a line that extends between two points.
Some examples of intervals are
- The part of the number line between \(2\) and \(3\). If this includes the endpoints, we write it using the notation \([2,3]\) (the square brackets mean that the endpoints are included). If it doesn't include the endpoints, we write it using the notation \((2,3)\) (the round brackets mean that the end points aren't included).
- A length of time, marked by fixed starting and finishing times is called a time interval.
- A line segment.
