discrete math question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[A= \left\{ n \in N: n \le20 \right\}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then determine the following set \[\left\{ n \in A : n | 4\right\}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm having trouble figuring out the vertical line between n & 4

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

so we want the numbers in the set\( \{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20\}\) that divide 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I feel dumb, I just couldn't find what that line meant!

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

lol its not so obvious....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you help me with another part of that same question?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is the same \[\left\{ n \in A : \max \left\{ n,14 \right\} =n\right\}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I had thought it was 1-14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean 0-14

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

so you want all the numbers from the set above such that the max of them and 14 is the number max{1,14}=14 max{2,14}=14 . . .max{14,14}=14 max[15,14} = 15 so {14,15,16,17,18,19,20}

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

you got it backwards

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14-20 then

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright, thanks!
