Need help with this problem, I need help figuring out the interval notation.

Given the following inequality:
[tex]x\: <\: 8\: or\: x\: \ge\: \: 9[/tex]Plotting this inequality in a number line graph will be:
Therefore, the solution in interval notation is:
[tex]\mleft(-\infty\: ,\: 8\mright)\cup\: \lbrack9,\: \infty\: )[/tex]
