Answer and explanation

Correct answer: [−4, −1] ∪ (6, 9]

To find A \ B, retain points of A that do not belong to B. From [−4, 2), remove (−1, 2), but −1 remains because B is open at −1; this leaves [−4, −1]. From (5, 9], remove (5, 6], including 6 because B contains 6; this leaves (6, 9]. Hence A \ B = [−4, −1] ∪ (6, 9].
