If A = {x : x is a natural number and x² = 2}, what kind of set is A?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Empty set

The equation x² = 2 has real solutions x = √2 and x = −√2, but neither solution is a natural number. In particular, √2 is irrational and is not a member of the natural numbers. Since no natural number satisfies the stated condition, the set contains no elements and is therefore empty.
