Write the following sets in the roaster form.
(i) A = {x | x is a positive integer less than 10 and 2^x – 1 is an odd number}
(ii) C = {x : x^2 + 7x – 8 = 0, x ∈ R}
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✴➡️(i) 2^x – 1 is always an odd number for all positive integral values of x since 2x is an even number.
➡️In particular, 2^x – 1 is an odd number for x = 1, 2, … , 9.
➡️Therefore, A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
✴➡️(ii) x^2 + 7x – 8 = 0
➡️(x + 8) (x – 1) = 0
➡️x = – 8 or x = 1
➡️Therefore, C = {– 8, 1}

Answer:
✴➡️(i) 2^x – 1 is always an odd number for all positive integral values of x since 2x is an even number.
➡️In particular, 2^x – 1 is an odd number for x = 1, 2, … , 9.
➡️Therefore, A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}✔
✴➡️(ii) x^2 + 7x – 8 = 0
➡️(x + 8) (x – 1) = 0
➡️x = – 8 or x = 1
