Homework Statement


Let ##A_n = (n − 1, n + 1)##, for all natural numbers n. Find, with proof, ##∪_{n≥1}A_n##

Homework Equations


What does that last statement mean? Union for n greater than or equal to one times the interval?

The Attempt at a Solution


I can't understand the question.

I can't understand the question.

It means ##A_1 \cup A_2 \cup A_3 \cup \ldots##.
