SUMMARY
Venn diagrams can represent both finite and infinite sets, as demonstrated in the discussion regarding the sets V = {all odd numbers} and W = {5, 15, 25, 45, 55,...}. The relationship indicates that W is a subset of V, illustrating how Venn diagrams can effectively show connections between infinite elements. While traditionally used for logical arguments, the application of Venn diagrams to non-finite sets raises questions about their utility in counting infinite elements.
