If A = {x ∈ R : x² + 4 = 0} and B = ∅, which statement is correct?

Advertisement

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A = B

Because x is restricted to real numbers, x² is always non-negative. Consequently, x² + 4 is always at least 4 and can never equal zero. Thus the equation has no real solution, so A contains no elements and A = ∅. Since B is also given as the empty set, A and B are equal. Option A is therefore correct.
