The simple interval notation requires the lower and upper limites separated by a comma. Also, parenthese indicate the limites are excluded.
So the example given will be translated to
(-infinity, -7)
One or more square brackets will replace the parenthesis if the limit is included.
For example, [-5,5] will start from -5 inclusively to +5, also inclusively.
Simple intervals may be joined together using the logical 'and' or 'or' operators.

Write the interval notation corresponding to the set notation
{x | x < –7}
Could it be (-7]
