STEP 1

What is this asking? Find where the two intervals overlap on a number line! Watch out! Don't confuse open and closed intervals; they affect where the overlap starts and ends!

STEP 2

1. Draw the intervals
2. Identify the overlap
3. Write the solution in interval notation

STEP 3

Let's start by visualizing these intervals on a number line.
We have two intervals: (1,4)(-1, 4) and [0,5][0, 5].
- The interval (1,4)(-1, 4) is an **open interval**, meaning it includes numbers **greater than** 1-1 and **less than** 44, but not 1-1 or 44 themselves. - The interval [0,5][0, 5] is a **closed interval**, meaning it includes numbers **from** 00 **to** 55, including 00 and 55.

STEP 4

On a number line, (1,4)(-1, 4) would look like this: (—1—0—1—2—3—4—) \text{(---1---0---1---2---3---4---)}
And [0,5][0, 5] would look like this: [—0—1—2—3—4—5—] \text{[---0---1---2---3---4---5---]}

STEP 5

Now, let's find where these two intervals overlap.
We're looking for numbers that are in both intervals at the same time!

STEP 6

The overlap starts at 00 because that's where the closed interval [0,5][0, 5] begins, and it ends at 44 because that's where the open interval (1,4)(-1, 4) ends.

STEP 7

Since 00 is included in the overlap (thanks to the closed interval), and 44 is not included (because of the open interval), the overlap is written as [0,4)[0, 4).

STEP 8

The set is [0,4)[0, 4).
