Math Problem Statement

Solution

To solve the problem of finding the intersection ABA \cap B, we need to identify the common elements in sets AA and BB.

Given sets: A={2,1,0,1,2}A = \{-2, -1, 0, 1, 2\} B={2kkA}B = \{2k \mid k \in A\}

First, we calculate the elements of set BB:

For each kAk \in A:

  • If k=2k = -2, then 2k=2(2)=42k = 2(-2) = -4
  • If k=1k = -1, then 2k=2(1)=22k = 2(-1) = -2
  • If k=0k = 0, then 2k=2(0)=02k = 2(0) = 0
  • If k=1k = 1, then 2k=2(1)=22k = 2(1) = 2
  • If k=2k = 2, then 2k=2(2)=42k = 2(2) = 4

Thus, the set BB is: B={4,2,0,2,4}B = \{-4, -2, 0, 2, 4\}

Now, we find the intersection ABA \cap B by identifying the common elements in both sets AA and BB: A={2,1,0,1,2}A = \{-2, -1, 0, 1, 2\} B={4,2,0,2,4}B = \{-4, -2, 0, 2, 4\}

The common elements are: AB={2,0,2}A \cap B = \{-2, 0, 2\}

Thus, the correct answer is (D) {2,0,2}\{-2, 0, 2\}.
