Which of the following does not represent the set of positive integers from 5 to 12? {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12} {5, 6, 7, 8, … } {5, 6, 7, …, 10, 11, 12} {positive integers from 5 to 12}

OpenStudy (nory):

The second one has three dots after the numbers. This implies that the set is infinite. Because the stated set isn't infinite, then the second one doesn't represent it.

OpenStudy (nory):

{5, 6, 7, 8... } by tradition means "all the positive integers greater than 5." But that's not what we want. Does that answer your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its D ? @Nory

OpenStudy (nory):

It would be B, I think. The second one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you said it isn't b in the first comment @Nory

OpenStudy (nory):

I meant that B doesn't represent the set. That is, it's the answer. Sorry

OpenStudy (nory):

So yeah, it's B. @shahbaaz786
