notice the .... in the third set?

anonymous · Answer

yes?

blurbendy · Answer

this implies that the set goes on for infinity.  is that really a representation for the integers 1-12?

blurbendy · Answer

The difference with the second one, is that the ... implies the integers 4 - 9 are represented, just not written

anonymous · Answer

oh so the awnser would be  d?

blurbendy · Answer

no, d is still a valid set, it's just written with words.  take a look at c again.  is a set that goes on for infinity the definite set of integers 1 - 12?

anonymous · Answer

so it either b or c ?

blurbendy · Answer

b contains all the integers 1-12, it's just 4-9 aren't written.  c contains way too many integers (we just want the integers 1 - 12)

mayaal · Answer

it is c  because the set goes on and on,we just want it to go till 12

anonymous · Answer
