Question

The set below represents how many points the Charleston Chiefs scored during each quarter of their winning game. Determine if the set is infinite or finite and explain your reasoning.{ 7, 18, 9, 6}

Answer 1

Explanation

We are given the following:

$\lbrace7,18,9,6\rbrace$

We are required to determine whether the set is finite or infinite.

We know that a finite set is a set whose element(s) can be counted while an infinite set is a set whose element(s) cannot be counted.

The elements in our given set can be counted i.e. suppose S = {7, 18, 9, 6}; n(S) = 4.

Therefore, it is a finite set.
