Answer

Set A = {x : x ∈ Z and x2 - 9 = 0}

x2 - 9 = 0

x2 = 9

x = 9\sqrt{9}

x = 3 or -3

Set A = {-3, 3}

Set B = {x : x ∈ W and x2 - 16 < 0}

x2 - 16 < 0

x2 < 16

x < 16\sqrt{16}

x < 4

Set B = {0, 1, 2, 3}

(i) A ∪ B

A ∪ B - contains all the elements of set A and B.

A ∪ B = {-3, 3} ∪ {0, 1, 2, 3}

A ∪ B = {-3, 0, 1, 2, 3}

(ii) B ∩ A

B ∩ A - contains all the common elements in set B and A.

B ∩ A = {0, 1, 2, 3} ∩ {-3, 3}

B ∩ A = {3}
