Say again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why non-zero real numbers is not a interval?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the set of all non zero real numbers is not an interval why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well an interval implies continuity but if you exclude zero then you break that continuity so you have: \[\mathbb{R}^+ = \mathbb{R} / \left\{ 0\right\} = (-\infty,0) \cup (0, \infty)\] But zero is EXCLUDED.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so natural numbers is not an interval?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope. They are a set because they are composed of discrete components: \[\mathbb{N} = \left\{1,2,3,4,...\right\}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, the answer to your question is yes. But they are NOT an interval.
