If A = (-2, 3], which statement is false?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: -2 ∈ A
The interval (-2, 3] contains all real numbers greater than -2 and less than or equal to 3. The round bracket at -2 excludes -2, while the square bracket at 3 includes 3. Both 0 and 2.5 lie strictly between the endpoints, so they belong to A. Therefore the statement -2 ∈ A is false, making option C correct.
