If B₁ = {x : x ∈ ℝ, x² = 2}, what type of set is B₁?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Two-element finite set

Solving x² = 2 over the real numbers gives x = √2 and x = −√2. Therefore, B₁ = {−√2, √2}, which contains exactly two distinct elements. A set with a fixed, countable number of elements is finite. Thus B₁ is a two-element finite set, not an empty or infinite set.
