Select the set-builder notation for this set: {18,19,20,...}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Again I Still Dont understand These problems Here.

Directrix (directrix):

Looking at these options, n is a whole number in each of them. For the given set in the roster method {18,19,20,...}, is each of 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, .... a whole number? Yes or No? @SJOJ4552

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I Think So ?

Directrix (directrix):

Yes, they are. The Whole Numbers are 0 and the positive integers. Okay, let's look at the options. We know whole number goes with all options so we need to look at how the numbers are described.

Directrix (directrix):

It comes down to this: which one of these means the same as {18,19,20,...} ?

Directrix (directrix):

Is is n ≤ 18 ? Yes or No?

Directrix (directrix):

With that option, the biggest number you could have in the set would be 18. The others would have to be smaller.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So Would it be greater Than ? And I Cant Delete it, Its a Test

Directrix (directrix):

Do you have an idea of what the answer is? If so, I will check it.

Directrix (directrix):

If not, I will continue asking questions until you get the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I Think it would be... C ?

Directrix (directrix):

n < 18 would be 17, 16, 15, 14, .... That does not look right to me. Our set goes {18,19,20,...} Look at the other options.

Directrix (directrix):

Remember that it is true to say 18≥18 because that means in words that 18 is greater than OR equal to 18.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So if the set goes {18,19,20} It would be D ?

Directrix (directrix):

D) is n >18 and would be {19, 20, 21, 22, ...} Option D does not include 18 so option D is wrong.

Directrix (directrix):

That leaves options A and B. Remember, the numbers are getting larger.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer would be Letter B !

Directrix (directrix):

I just saw that you are new to OpenStudy. Welcome.
