Working with Intervals<\/p>\n

The northern elephant seal is the largest seal found in North America. Adult males\u00a0 weigh between 3,300 and 5,100 pounds and range in length from 10 to 13 feet.<\/p>\n

In In-Class Activity 10.A, you saw that there are several ways to represent an interval.\u00a0 For example, one way to represent the interval that contains all the numbers between\u00a0 42 and 58 is to show the interval on a number line, as shown:<\/p>\n

Another way to represent this same interval is to use the notation that represents an interval by listing the interval endpoints in parentheses: (42, 58).<\/p>\n

A third way is to use \u00b1 notation. Using this notation, the interval 42 to 58 would be\u00a0 written as 50 \u00b1 8.<\/p>\n
