Identify the given interval: The interval is (−∞, 0], which means it includes all numbers less than or equal to 0.
Understand the notation: The round parenthesis '(' indicates that −∞ is not included in the interval, while the square bracket ']' indicates that 0 is included.
Express in set builder notation: The interval (−∞, 0] can be expressed as {x | x ≤ 0}, which reads as 'the set of all x such that x is less than or equal to 0.'
Graph the interval: On a number line, draw a line extending to the left from 0, with a closed dot at 0 to indicate that 0 is included in the interval.
Review the graph: Ensure that the line extends indefinitely to the left, representing all numbers less than 0, and that the closed dot at 0 correctly shows inclusion of 0 in the interval.
