Identify the set as finite or infinite. {2, 3, 4, . . ., 8}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think ?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

infinite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because it is placed in a one-to-one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what ?! do you see the difference beetween {2,4,6,8,10,12,14.,.,..,..} and {2,4..,8} ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see now they continue on even tho there are ..... still follows the same manner

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeaah ! they both do ! but the difference ?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the number stops at 8 for one on side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true ! and the first one ?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first one contiunes on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk ! a finite set is when you can count the number of its elements ! for example A={1,2,3} is finite...it contains exactly three integers ! B={1,2,3,4,5,...............won't stop ...534545......} is infinite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if it contains no elements we call it empty set ! so know what do you think ? finite or infinite ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

infinite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because it does not start with 3 integers and like you said the .... dont ever stop

OpenStudy (anonymous):

re-type the set ....please !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

{2, 3, 4, . . ., 8}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what you typed is exactly the same as {2,3,4,5,6,7,8}...can you count how many integers there ?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are thinking that it is finite ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's not about what am I thinking...I'm trying to make you understand... Sorry ! I have to go now !
