Describe the following sets in set-builder form:

B={1,1/2 ,1/3, 1/4,1/5,...........};

Solution

Set-builder form:
To describe a set, a variable x (each element of the set) is written inside braces. Then, after putting a colon, the common property P(x) possessed by each element of the set is written within braces.

\[ {x: x = \frac{1}{n}, x \in N}\]
