Transcript text: Express the set using the roster method.
\[
\{x \mid x \in N \text { and } x<4\}
\]
Choose the correct answer below.
A. $\{1,2,3\}$
B. $\{0,1,2,3\}$
C. $\{1,2,3,4\}$
D. $\{\ldots,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4\}$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Set Definition
The set is defined as \( \{x \mid x \in N \text{ and } x < 4\} \). This means we are looking for all natural numbers \( x \) that are less than 4.
Step 2: Determine the Natural Numbers Less Than 4
Natural numbers \( N \) typically start from 1. Therefore, the natural numbers less than 4 are \( 1, 2, \) and \( 3 \).
Step 3: Match the Set with the Given Options
The set \( \{1, 2, 3\} \) corresponds to option A. The other options either include numbers outside the natural numbers or include 0 or 4, which do not satisfy the condition \( x < 4 \).
