Which set is equal to A = {x ∈ Z : x² = 49 and x > 0}?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A = {7}
Solving x² = 49 gives x = 7 or x = -7, because both numbers have square 49. The additional condition x > 0 eliminates -7 and retains only 7. Therefore, the set of all integers satisfying both conditions is A = {7}. It is a singleton set, so option A is correct.
