Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If set P = {x | x is an even number less than 10} and set Q = {x | x is a prime number less than 10}, what is P ∩ Q?
  • Step 1: Identify the elements of set P. Set P includes all even numbers less than 10. The even numbers less than 10 are {0, 2, 4, 6, 8}.
  • Step 2: Identify the elements of set Q. Set Q includes all prime numbers less than 10. The prime numbers less than 10 are {2, 3, 5, 7}.
  • Step 3: Find the intersection of sets P and Q. The intersection P ∩ Q includes only the numbers that are in both set P and set Q.
  • Step 4: Compare the elements of both sets. The only number that is both even (from set P) and prime (from set Q) is 2.
  • Step 5: Write the intersection. Therefore, P ∩ Q = {2}.
