Can someone please tell me the difference between a bracket and parenthesis in math?For my math problem I was solving an inequality using interval notation and two of the answers were the exact same, only one was using parenthesis and one was using brackets.The first answer said [-8,0) or [-6, infinity)The second answer said (-8,0) or (-6, infinity)My exam is multiple choice but I am going to need to tell the difference. Can someone please show me? 10 points to the person who explains best! Thank you :)
brackets are used to contain parenthesized statements . like this 10-[(2+3)-(6+8)] something like that . i think
PEMDAS Parenthesis exponents multiplication branch addition subtraction pondering the parenthesis are interior the brackets ud remedy the stuff interior the brackets that's the parenthesis so i assume the brackets
brackets mean the number is included, paranthesis mean the number is not included. infinity will never have a bracket because you can never reach it, so it cannot be included that is how I remember it : )
parenthesis means excluding brackets are including If you want to include that answer, use a bracket on that side If you want to exclude that answer, use a parenthesis on that side.
