Question: The set S = {x|0 \leq x < 3} is described by which interval notation?
1. **State the problem:** We want to express the set $$S = \{x \mid 0 \leq x < 3\}$$ in interval notation.
2. **Recall interval notation rules:**
- A closed bracket \([\) means the endpoint is included.
- An open bracket \(()\) means the endpoint is excluded.
3. **Analyze the set:**
- The inequality $$0 \leq x$$ means $$x$$ includes $$0$$, so the left endpoint is closed.
- The inequality $$x < 3$$ means $$x$$ does not include $$3$$, so the right endpoint is open.
4. **Write the interval notation:**
- Combining these, the interval notation is $$[0, 3)$$.
**Final answer:** $$[0, 3)$$
