Question

Sets that are made up of isolated points and can be written as lists are called ____ sets. a. Discrete b. Element c. Continuous d. Infinite

Answer 1

Discrete set

Explanation:

A discrete consists of a fixed number of elements, such that each element or point in the set is a standalone point or isolated. This differs from a continous set which still consists of points in between each set of values. Therefore the property of isolated point is a characteristic of a discrete set. The can be written as a list. The values are isolated on a discrete set as opposed to that of a continuous set whereby values can take up any value within any two intervals in the set.
