I am graphing something with 29 points. I know that you have to label the points with a capital letter. However, there are only 26 letters in the English alphabet, so what do I name the remaining 3 points?​

Answer:

a₁, a₂, a₃, . . .

Explanation:

When we name something in Mathematics it is always advisable to number them as
$ a_1, a_2, a_3, ...$
.

Because the alphabets are only 26 in number we might run out of notations.

The simple logic behind the notion of
$ a_1, a_2, a_3, ... $ is that the numbers have no end and we can number as many variables we want using this logic.

In this problem, you can continue your notation from
$ a_(27), a_(28), a_(29) $ so that you don't have to make a change in your figure.
