\}

, list the members of

P

$\{2,4,2,8,10,12\}$
$\;\; \{3,4,6,8,10,12\}$
$\;\; \{2,4,6,8,10\}$
$\;\; \{4,6,8,10,12\}$

Solution:

Concept:

List the even numbers that satisfy

2 < x \le 12

.

Explanation:

Even numbers are divisible by

2

, for example

2,4,6,8,10,12

.

The condition

x > 2

means

2

is not included.

The condition

x \le 12

means

12

is included.

Hence, the even numbers between

2

and

12

, including

12

, are

4,6,8,10,12

.

Answer:

\{4,6,8,10,12\}
