1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to list the elements of four sets defined by different conditions.
(a) The set of integers xx such that 2<x<9-2 < x < 9.
(b) The intersection of the set of integers and the set {0,3,π,2i}\{0, \sqrt{3}, \pi, 2i\}.
(c) The set of values x2+1x^2 + 1 where xx is an element of the set A={2,1,0,1,2}A = \{-2, -1, 0, 1, 2\}.
(d) The set of values x+2\sqrt{x+2} where xx is an element of the set B={3,4,0,1,2}B = \{-3, -4, 0, 1, 2\}.

2. Solution Steps

(a) The integers greater than -2 and less than 9 are -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and
8.
(b) The set of integers is Z={,2,1,0,1,2,}\mathbb{Z} = \{\dots, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, \dots\}. We need to find the intersection of this set with the set {0,3,π,2i}\{0, \sqrt{3}, \pi, 2i\}. Among the elements of the set {0,3,π,2i}\{0, \sqrt{3}, \pi, 2i\}, only 00 is an integer. Thus, the intersection is {0}\{0\}.
(c) We are given the set A={2,1,0,1,2}A = \{-2, -1, 0, 1, 2\}. We need to compute x2+1x^2 + 1 for each xx in AA.
If x=2x = -2, then x2+1=(2)2+1=4+1=5x^2 + 1 = (-2)^2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5.
If x=1x = -1, then x2+1=(1)2+1=1+1=2x^2 + 1 = (-1)^2 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2.
If x=0x = 0, then x2+1=(0)2+1=0+1=1x^2 + 1 = (0)^2 + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1.
If x=1x = 1, then x2+1=(1)2+1=1+1=2x^2 + 1 = (1)^2 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2.
If x=2x = 2, then x2+1=(2)2+1=4+1=5x^2 + 1 = (2)^2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5.
So the set is {5,2,1,2,5}\{5, 2, 1, 2, 5\}. Removing duplicates, the set is {1,2,5}\{1, 2, 5\}.
(d) We are given the set B={3,4,0,1,2}B = \{-3, -4, 0, 1, 2\}. We need to compute x+2\sqrt{x+2} for each xx in BB.
If x=3x = -3, then x+2=3+2=1=i\sqrt{x+2} = \sqrt{-3+2} = \sqrt{-1} = i.
If x=4x = -4, then x+2=4+2=2=i2\sqrt{x+2} = \sqrt{-4+2} = \sqrt{-2} = i\sqrt{2}.
If x=0x = 0, then x+2=0+2=2\sqrt{x+2} = \sqrt{0+2} = \sqrt{2}.
If x=1x = 1, then x+2=1+2=3\sqrt{x+2} = \sqrt{1+2} = \sqrt{3}.
If x=2x = 2, then x+2=2+2=4=2\sqrt{x+2} = \sqrt{2+2} = \sqrt{4} = 2.
So the set is {i,i2,2,3,2}\{i, i\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3}, 2\}.

3. Final Answer

(a) {1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}\{-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8\}
(b) {0}\{0\}
(c) {1,2,5}\{1, 2, 5\}
(d) {i,i2,2,3,2}\{i, i\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3}, 2\}
