What type of set is V = {x : x is a positive integer divisible by 7}?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Infinite set
The positive integers divisible by 7 are 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, and so on. For every positive multiple 7n, where n is a positive integer, there is another larger multiple 7(n + 1). Thus the list never ends, so V is an infinite set. It is neither empty nor a singleton.
