\]
(A) $B=\{0.1,2$,
(B) $B=\{4,5,6, \ldots\}$
C It is impossible to write this in roster form because it is an infinite number of numbers
(D) $B=\{0.1,2,3\}$
(E) $B=\{1,2,3\}$
Solution
Solution Steps
To express the set \( B \) in roster form, we need to identify all elements \( x \) that belong to the set of whole numbers \( W \) and are less than or equal to 3. Whole numbers are non-negative integers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...). Therefore, we need to list all whole numbers that are less than or equal to 3.
Step 1: Identify the Set of Whole Numbers
Whole numbers (\( W \)) are non-negative integers: \( 0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots \).
Step 2: Apply the Condition \( x \leq 3 \)
We need to find all whole numbers \( x \) such that \( x \leq 3 \).
Step 3: List the Elements
The whole numbers that satisfy \( x \leq 3 \) are \( 0, 1, 2, \) and \( 3 \).
