Step-by-step solution

4 steps

Let's solve this.

Part a· 3 steps

List the elements of C and D

  1. Define counting numbers.

    Counting numbers are positive integers: 1, 2, 3, 4, ...

  2. List the elements of set C.

    C = {x : x < 8, where x is a counting number}
    The counting numbers less than 8 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
    C = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}

  3. List the elements of set D.

    D = {x : 3x ≤ 15, where x is a counting number}
    First, solve the inequality:
    3x ≤ 15
    x ≤ 15/3
    x ≤ 5
    The counting numbers less than or equal to 5 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
    D = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

Part b· 1 step

Find C intersect D

  1. Identify the elements common to both sets C and D.

    C = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}
    D = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
    The elements that appear in both sets are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
    C intersect D = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
