Number Lines and Interval Notation

This video tutorial reviews number lines, interval notation, and set notation. It explains how to represent inequalities using these notations, with examples and practice exercises. The tutorial covers the use of open and closed symbols on number lines, the structure of interval notation, and the format of set notation. It also includes complex examples and concludes with a review of the key concepts.
