If A₁ = {x : x ∈ ℤ and x² = 2}, what is A₁?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Empty set

Solving x² = 2 over the real numbers gives x = √2 and x = −√2. Neither value is an integer, because √2 is irrational. The condition x ∈ ℤ restricts us to integers only, so no value satisfies both requirements. Therefore A₁ contains no elements and is the empty set, A₁ = ∅.
