Answer

{5,7,9}\{5, 7, 9\}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. List the elements of set PP.

    The set PP is defined as P={2n+1:n=1,2,3,4}P = \{2n + 1 : n = 1, 2, 3, 4\}.
    Substitute each value of nn into the expression 2n+12n+1:
    For n=1n=1: 2(1)+1=32(1)+1 = 3
    For n=2n=2: 2(2)+1=52(2)+1 = 5
    For n=3n=3: 2(3)+1=72(3)+1 = 7
    For n=4n=4: 2(4)+1=92(4)+1 = 9
    So, P={3,5,7,9}P = \{3, 5, 7, 9\}.

  2. List the elements of set QQ.

    The set QQ is defined as Q={2n−1:n=3,4,5,6}Q = \{2n - 1 : n = 3, 4, 5, 6\}.
    Substitute each value of nn into the expression 2n−12n-1:
    For n=3n=3: 2(3)−1=52(3)-1 = 5
    For n=4n=4: 2(4)−1=72(4)-1 = 7
    For n=5n=5: 2(5)−1=92(5)-1 = 9
    For n=6n=6: 2(6)−1=112(6)-1 = 11
    So, Q={5,7,9,11}Q = \{5, 7, 9, 11\}.

  3. Find the intersection P∩QP \cap Q.

    The intersection of two sets consists of all elements that are common to both sets.
    P={3,5,7,9}P = \{3, 5, 7, 9\}
    Q={5,7,9,11}Q = \{5, 7, 9, 11\}
    The elements common to both PP and QQ are 5,7,5, 7, and 9.
    Therefore, P∩Q={5,7,9}P \cap Q = \{5, 7, 9\}.

    The final answer is {5,7,9}\boxed{\{5, 7, 9\}}.
