Concept explainers
Research useful websites and present a report on infinite sets and their cardinalities. Explain why the sets of whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers each have cardinal number
Be sure to define these sets and show the one-to-one correspondences between each set and the set of natural numbers. Then explain why the set of real numbers does not have cardinal number

- The number of 5-element subsets from a set containing n elements is equal to the number of 6-element subsets from the same set. What is the value of n? (Hint: the order in which the elements for the subsets are chosen is not important.)arrow_forwardDetermine whether the set S={2x+x2,8+x3,x2+x3,4+x2} spans P3.arrow_forwardExpress the set of real numbers between but not including 2 and 7 as follows. (a) In set-builder notation:__________________ (b) In interval notation:__________________arrow_forward
- The set, S consists of 900,000000 whole numbers, each being the same number of digits long. How many digits long is a number from S? (Hint: use the fact that a whole number cannot start with the digit 0.)arrow_forwardConsider the set 6,3,0,12,3,,5,6,8. List the numbers in this set that are natural numbers.arrow_forwardHow can you use ordinal, cardinal, and identification numbers to teach students? How can you use ordinal cardinal and identification numbers in the classroom as examples? How can you connect ordinal, cardinal, and identification numbers to students' everyday lives?arrow_forward
- Find the cardinal number for the set, {28,29,30,35,38,39}arrow_forwardWhat does the Subsets of set of real numbers means? And what does it consists of?arrow_forwardExpress the set in roster form. The set of natural numbers between 11 and 164. Choose the correct answer below (image attached)arrow_forward
- State the cardinality of -1,-2, 3,6,7, 12arrow_forwardDetermine all numbers n belong to N with the property that the set:A = {n, n + 1, n + 2, n + 3, n + 4, n + 5}can be written as the reunion of two disjoint and non empty sets,A = BUC, and the product of the elements in B is equal to the product of the elements in C. Please give some explanation for the answer, thank you in advance.arrow_forwardWhich of the following sets of numbers is arranged in decreasing order according to the number of elements each has? * {rational numbers, non - integral numbers, real numbers} b. {non - integral numbers, real numbers, rational numbers} c. {real numbers, non - integral numbers, rational numbers} d. {real numbers, rational numbers, non-integral numbers}arrow_forward
