1. Tell which of the following sets are finite and which are infinite then explain

a. The set of hair in your head - INFINITE BECAUSE HAIR IN OUR HEAD CAN`T COUNT

. b. The set of whole number – FINITE BECAUSE SET OF HOLE NUMBER CAN EASILY COUNT

c. The set of integer – INFINITE BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY INTEGER IN OUR NUMERIC NUMBER.

d. The set of books in your room – FINITE BECAUSE BOOKS IN OUR ROOM CANT COUNT BY OUR EYES
OR BY OUR FINGER.

e. The set of fish at Manila Bay - INFINITE BECAUSE FISH IN MANILA BAY CAN`T COUNT BECAUSE WE
CAN`T SEE THE SET OF FISH IN MANILA BAY
