If A = [2, 8] and B = (2, 8), which statement is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B ⊆ A
The closed interval A includes every number from 2 to 8, including both endpoints. The open interval B contains only numbers strictly between 2 and 8, so it excludes 2 and 8. Every element of B is nevertheless an element of A; hence B ⊆ A. The intervals are not equal and 2 is not in B.
