The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the set \( A = \{ x : x \in \mathbb{Z} \text{ and } x > -10 \} \) is finite or infinite, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Set Definition**: The set \( A \) is defined to include all integers \( x \) such that \( x \) is greater than \(-10\). This means we are looking for integers starting from \(-9\) and going upwards. 2. **Identify the Elements of the Set**: The integers that satisfy the condition \( x > -10 \) are: - \(-9\) - \(-8\) - \(-7\) - \(-6\) - \(-5\) - \(-4\) - \(-3\) - \(-2\) - \(-1\) - \(0\) - \(1\) - \(2\) - \(3\) - \(4\) - \(5\) - \(6\) - \(7\) - \(8\) - \(9\) - \(10\) - ... and so on. 3. **Determine the Nature of the Set**: Since the integers continue indefinitely in the positive direction (i.e., there is no upper limit), the set \( A \) does not have a maximum number. Therefore, it includes an infinite number of integers. 4. **Conclusion**: The set \( A \) is infinite because it contains an unbounded number of integers greater than \(-10\). ### Final Answer: The set \( A = \{ x : x \in \mathbb{Z} \text{ and } x > -10 \} \) is **infinite**.
