ok

mathstudent55 · Answer

Finite is the opposite of infinite.
An infinite set is a set that has an infinite number of elements.
That means the elements cannot be counted.

mathstudent55 · Answer

A finite set is a set whose elements can be counted. Even if it has many, many elements, if you were to count them, you'd take a long time, but they can be counted, and you'd come to an end in your counting.

anonymous · Answer

so it b the last 2

mathstudent55 · Answer

Look at the first question.
All whole numbers.
The whole numbers are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...
They go on forever.
It is an infinite set.

mathstudent55 · Answer

Look at the second choice: All natural numbers less than 100,000.
The natural numbers start with 1, and go on:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...

mathstudent55 · Answer

Here you are told it is all natural numbers lees than 100,000. 
That means the set is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..., 99,997, 99998, 99,999.
The set starts with 1 and ends with 99,999.
That is a finite number of elements, so the second choice is good.

anonymous · Answer

ik one wuld be the last one

mathstudent55 · Answer

How about the third choice?
All letters of the alphabet.
There are 26 letters in the alphabet. That is finite.

mathstudent55 · Answer

What about all odd numbers?
Does that set end or does it go on forever?

anonymous · Answer

forever

mathstudent55 · Answer

Good.
Now the last choice: All the world's population

mathstudent55 · Answer

Does that number end or does it go on forever?

anonymous · Answer
