Transcript text: Let $X$ and $Y$ be the following sets:
\[
\begin{array}{l}
X=\{6,12,18,24\} \\
Y=\{12,18\}
\]
Which of the following is the set $X \cap Y$ ?
Choose 1 answer:
(A) $\{12,18\}$
(B) $\{6,24\}$
(c) \{\}
(D) $\{6,12,18,24\}$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Define the Sets
We are given two sets:
\[ X = \{6, 12, 18, 24\} \]
\[ Y = \{12, 18\} \]
Step 2: Find the Intersection
The intersection of two sets, \( X \cap Y \), is the set of elements that are common to both \( X \) and \( Y \).
Step 3: Identify Common Elements
By examining the elements in both sets, we find that the common elements are:
\[ \{12, 18\} \]
Final Answer
The set \( X \cap Y \) is \(\boxed{\{12, 18\}}\). Therefore, the answer is (A).
