If J = {x : x ∈ Z and |x| ≤ 2}, what is its roster form?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: J = {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}
The condition |x| ≤ 2 means -2 ≤ x ≤ 2. Since x must be an integer, the complete list is -2, -1, 0, 1 and 2. Both endpoints are included because equality is allowed. Therefore option A is correct; options B, C and D omit one or more integers that satisfy the condition.
