where is 10?

11: [4,inf) or [4,inf]

12: (-inf,5] or [-inf,5]

before the 'or' the normal/standard way, after the 'or' the notation if you are using the closed real line

You never use closed brackets on an interval going towards infinity :huh:

perhaps start studying mathematics and you'll find out when you do it :P

I would use the parenthesis (not square bracket) when you need to use infinity in this case.

assuming that the op was more likely high school math i put those as normal/standard way
but it really would depend on the class, so i put the other as potential alternative :)
