Question

Name this set of 6 consecutive integers starting with -3 (put the set in braces { } and put commas between the elements of the set)

Answer 1

$\mleft\lbrace-3,-2,-1,0,1,2\mright\rbrace$

The idea of consecutive of an integer n is just adding 1 to n (n+1). Then, you only have to sum 1 to -3 to get "the consecutive" of -3 (-3+1 = -2). Doing that five times, we get six consecutive integers starting from -3.

Note: This is called "defining the set by comprehension" too.
