If J₁ = {x : x ∈ ℤ, |x| < 3}, how many elements does J₁ have?

Advertisement

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 5

For an integer x, the inequality |x| < 3 is equivalent to -3 < x < 3. The integers strictly between -3 and 3 are -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2. Thus J₁ = {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}, which contains five distinct elements. The endpoints -3 and 3 are excluded because the inequality is strict, so the correct answer is 5.
