If x ∈ [2, 6], which statement about x is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 2 ≤ x ≤ 6
The notation [2, 6] represents a closed interval. It contains every real number between 2 and 6, and the square brackets show that both endpoints are included. Therefore, x may be equal to 2, equal to 6, or any real number between them. The correct inequality is 2 ≤ x ≤ 6, so option A is correct.
