So in the domain and range questions when do i use the ( brackets and [ brackets?
e.g http://pastpapers.download.wjec.co.u...ematics-ms.pdf

i.e. [1,2) is an interval that includes 1 but not 2.

Generally square brackets are used when inclusive of a value and parentheses if excluding that value.

For example this in the markscheme:
![Image]()
is the range of values in between 1 and 1.5 that includes 1.5 but does not include 1.

But how do you know if it includes that number or not? And do you get deducted marks if you get them wrong?

~ If it's asymptotic at a value, then the range won't include that value, so you use a parenthesis.
~ If it's a numerical maximum/minimum, it can take that value, so you'd use a square bracket.
I don't think they penalise for it, but better safe than sorry

It depends how you're working out the range/domain ~ whether it can take that value or not.

Thankss anyways, much appreciated mathematician!

I should get 100 Ums hopefully if they don't penalise me for this but like i get mixed up with squares and curved brackets , so the way i see it is if you have like a value that doesn't have a proper value like infinity it will have a curved bracket or like if you put infinity in the bracket to get the range then it'll be curved bracket ygm?

isn't a real number.

Whenever you need to specify a non-inclusive interval.

Like if I told you to write down the set of numbers between 1 and 2 that don't include the number 1 or 2.

(a,b) means all the real numbers between a and b excluding a and b.
[a,b) means all the real numbers between a and b including a and excluding b.
(a,b] means all the real numbers between a and b excluding a and including b.
Of course, if a or b are ±infinity, then there will be a round bracket because obviously infinity is not included.
That's about as comprehensive of an explanation you can get.

If you told me to write a set of numbers between 1 and 2 that dont include 1 and 2 huh? Ill tell you an example to do , 1 min

Because the range of fg does not include -16.

But how do you know it doesnt include it? Where does it say that?

Complete the square and use your basic GCSE knowledge of quadratics.
