If A = {x : x is a natural number greater than 7}, what type of set is A?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Infinite set
The natural numbers greater than 7 are 8, 9, 10, 11, and so on. The phrase “and so on” continues without an ending because there is no upper bound. For every member, another larger natural number can be found. Consequently, A has infinitely many elements and is an infinite set.
