To determine which numbers are perfect squares, we need to check if each number in the list has an integer as its square root. A perfect square is a number that can be expressed as the product of an integer with itself.
Step 1: Identify the Perfect Squares
We need to determine which numbers from the list \( \{0, 4, 8, 9, 15, 30, 42, 64, 72, 95, 144, 169\} \) are perfect squares. A perfect square is defined as a number that can be expressed as \( n^2 \) where \( n \) is an integer.
Step 2: Check Each Number
We check each number in the list:
\( 0 = 0^2 \)
\( 4 = 2^2 \)
\( 8 \) is not a perfect square.
\( 9 = 3^2 \)
\( 15 \) is not a perfect square.
\( 30 \) is not a perfect square.
\( 42 \) is not a perfect square.
\( 64 = 8^2 \)
\( 72 \) is not a perfect square.
\( 95 \) is not a perfect square.
\( 144 = 12^2 \)
\( 169 = 13^2 \)
Step 3: List the Perfect Squares
From our checks, the perfect squares identified are \( 0, 4, 9, 64, 144, \) and \( 169 \).
Final Answer
The perfect squares are \( \boxed{0, 4, 9, 64, 144, 169} \).
