Math Problem Statement
Which of the following is an example of a finite set? Responses
A R = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}R = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
B Q = {x∣x is a natural number}Q = {x ∣ x is a natural number}
C V = {x∣x is an even number}V = {x ∣ x is an even number}
D T = {x∣x is a real number}
Solution
To determine which of the sets provided is finite, we need to analyze the definitions:
-
A: : This is a set with exactly five elements, which makes it a finite set.
-
B: : The natural numbers go on infinitely, so this is an infinite set.
-
C: : Even numbers also go on infinitely, so this is an infinite set.
-
D: : The real numbers cover all numbers on the number line (including rational and irrational numbers), so this is an infinite set.
Conclusion:
The correct answer is A: , which is a finite set.
