Math Problem Statement

define the set of all integers that are multiples of 5 using set builder notation

Solution

The set of all integers that are multiples of 5 can be defined in set-builder notation as:

S={xZx=5k,kZ}S = \{ x \in \mathbb{Z} \mid x = 5k, \, k \in \mathbb{Z} \}

Where:

  • xZx \in \mathbb{Z} means xx is an integer.
  • x=5kx = 5k means xx is a multiple of 5.
  • kZk \in \mathbb{Z} means kk is any integer.
