01 If \(A=\{x\in\mathbb Z:|x|\le 4\}\) and \(B=\{x\in\mathbb Z:x^2\le 9\}\), what is \(A\setminus B\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. \(\{-4,4\}\)
Explanation: The inequality \(|x|\le4\) gives \(-4\le x\le4\), so \(A=\{-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4\}\). The condition \(x^2\le9\) is equivalent to \(|x|\le3\), giving \(B=\{-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3\}\). Removing all elements of \(B\) from \(A\) leaves only \(-4\) and 4. Therefore \(A\setminus B=\{-4,4\}\).
