Answers & Comments
Answer:
A.
1. P = {the number of boys in junior high school} - FINITE
2. H = {1,2 ... 10} - FINITE
3. K = {the number of football players in the playing basketball} - NULL SET
4. J = {number of days starts with letter M} - INFINITE
5. N = {index, middle, ring, pinky} - FINITE
B.
1. Roster/Listing Method: P = {6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13}
Set Builder Notation: P = {x | x >= 5 and x < 14}
2. Roster/Listing Method: K = {M, A, T, H, E, M, A, T, I, C, S}
Set Builder Notation: K = {x | x is a letter in the word MATHEMATICS}
