Conversion Examples

Examples:

  • x > 2 → (2, ∞)
  • x ≥ 3 → [3, ∞)
  • x < -1 → (-∞, -1)
  • x ≤ 5 → (-∞, 5]
  • 2 < x < 5 → (2, 5)
  • 2 ≤ x ≤ 5 → [2, 5]

About Inequality to Interval Notation Calculator

The Inequality to Interval Notation Calculator converts mathematical inequalities to interval notation, a compact way to represent sets of real numbers. This is especially useful in calculus and analysis.

Conversion Rules

  • < and > use parentheses (exclusive)
  • ≤ and ≥ use square brackets (inclusive)
  • -∞ and ∞ always use parentheses

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert "x ≥ 3"?

x ≥ 3 means x is greater than or equal to 3, so in interval notation: [3, ∞). The bracket means 3 is included.

What if I have two inequalities?

For inequalities like 2 < x < 5, use interval notation (2, 5) meaning x is between 2 and 5, exclusive.
