Question 1 Report

Which of the following statement is true for the ste P = {-3.2 \(\leq\) x < 5} where x is an integer?
Answer Details
The given set P = {-3.2 ≤ x < 5} contains all the integers that are greater than or equal to -3.2 but less than 5. However, since x has to be an integer, the least possible value of x is -3 (since -3 is the greatest integer less than or equal to -3.2) and the greatest possible value of x is 4 (since 4 is the greatest integer less than 5). Therefore, the statement "least value of x is -3" is true for the set P, and the statement "greatest value of x is 5" is false.
