If A₁ = {x ∈ ℕ : 1 ≤ x ≤ 5}, which is the correct roster form of A₁?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Here x is a natural number satisfying both inequalities 1 ≤ x and x ≤ 5. Because both inequalities are non-strict, the endpoints 1 and 5 are included. Listing every natural number from 1 through 5 gives A₁ = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. Zero is not included because the lower bound begins at 1.
