If X = {x : x < 7} and Y = {y:y is a factor of 24} are subsets of \(\mu\) = {1, 2, 3...10} find X \(\cap\) Y.

To find X \(\cap\) Y, we need to determine the common elements that are present in both sets X and Y. Set X is defined as the set of all numbers x, such that x is less than 7. Therefore, X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Set Y is defined as the set of all factors of 24. The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. Therefore, Y = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24}. The intersection of sets X and Y, denoted as X \(\cap\) Y, is the set of all elements that are present in both sets X and Y. Therefore, X \(\cap\) Y = {x : x is an element of X and x is an element of Y} From the sets X and Y, we see that the common elements are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6. Therefore, X \(\cap\) Y = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6} Thus, the correct answer is {1, 2, 3, 4, 6}.
