Math Problem Statement

Write the set using the roster method.

Set B is the set of positive two-digit odd numbers less than 46 that are divisible by 3 .

Solution

To write Set BB using the roster method, we follow these steps:

  1. Identify the constraints:

    • Positive two-digit numbers (10x9910 \leq x \leq 99).
    • Odd numbers.
    • Less than 46 (x<46x < 46).
    • Divisible by 3 (xmod3=0x \mod 3 = 0).
  2. List the odd two-digit numbers less than 46: 11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31,33,35,37,39,41,43,4511, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45

  3. Filter numbers divisible by 3: 15,21,27,33,39,4515, 21, 27, 33, 39, 45

Thus, the set BB is: B={15,21,27,33,39,45}B = \{15, 21, 27, 33, 39, 45\}
