can you confirm the solution is the empty set?

2 included in 1 and not the other so nothing in common.

Parth (parthkohli):
An arbitrary element \(\phi\) will always fulfil the condition \(\phi <2\) in set \((1,2)\).
An arbitrary element \(\psi\) will always fulfil the condition \(\psi \ge 2 \) in set \([2,3)\).
So, \(\rm \psi \ge 2>\phi\).
Therefore, there is no common element.

thats what i ment @Zarkon

Parth (parthkohli):
In this case, we have \(\phi \) instead.\[(1,2) = \{\phi \in \mathbb R |1<\phi <2\}\]Doesn't make a lot of difference either...
