If F₁ = {x : x ∈ ℝ and x² + 4 = 0}, what is F₁?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Empty set

For every real number x, x² is at least 0. Consequently, x² + 4 is at least 4, so it can never equal 0. Equivalently, the equation would require x² = −4, which has no real solution. Since F₁ contains real numbers satisfying the condition and there are none, F₁ = ∅, the empty set.
