If A = {x : x ∈ ℕ and x is a multiple of 8}, what is the nature of the number of elements in A?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Unlimited
The natural-number multiples of 8 are 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, and so on. For every multiple listed, adding 8 gives a larger natural-number multiple, so the sequence never ends. Therefore there are infinitely many natural multiples of 8. The set A is infinite, and the number of its elements is unlimited. Hence option D is correct.
