They want you depict the number line with the semi-interval (a,b] cut off:


==============(------------]===============(number line)==============

              a            b


The entire ray  (,] belongs to R \ (a,b], including the point x = a.


The set  x > b also belongs to R \ (a,b], but the point x= b does not belong to this set. It is excluded from the set.
