R. 1 Example 1 Using Set Notation and Terminology (page 2) Identify each set as finite or infinite. Then determine whether 8 is an element of the set. (a) {5, 6, 7, …, 10} finite; 8 is an element. (b) infinite; 8 is not an element. Copyright © 2017, 2013, 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 2
R. 1 Example 1 Using Set Notation and Terminology (cont) Identify each set as finite or infinite. Then determine whether 8 is an element of the set. (c) {x |x is a fraction between 9 and 10} infinite; 8 is not an element. (d) {x | x is a natural number between 7 and 9} finite; 8 is an element.
