If \(A=\{2,3,5,7,11,13\}\) and \(B=\{x\in A:x>5\}\), find \(A\cap B\).
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(\{7,11,13\}\)
Set \(B\) is formed by selecting from \(A\) only those elements strictly greater than 5. Testing the elements gives \(B=\{7,11,13\}\); the value 5 is excluded because 5 is not greater than 5. Since \(B\subseteq A\), the intersection \(A\cap B\) equals \(B\), namely \(\{7,11,13\}\).
