Which of the following sets is an infinite set? -{1, 2, 3 . . . 100} -empty set -the set of whole numbers less than one billion -the set of natural numbers -none of the above

hartnn (hartnn):

infinite set means that we can't count the number of elements. first set, there are 100 numbers<----counted. 2nd set,0 elements.<-----counted. 3rd set, billion elements<----counted 4th set of natural numbers->infinite.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's an empty set?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if we cant count it, then why is it called a countably infinite set?

OpenStudy (hba):

If something is countable it cant be infinite

hartnn (hartnn):

@RoxyV16 nopes, empty set has 0 elements,not infinite. natural numbers is set of infinite numbers. countably infinite means we can count it in infinite time.
