Problem: set j consists of 5 consecutive even numbers . if the smallest term in the set is - 2 , what is the range of the positive integers in set j ?
Rationale: since there are only 5 integers , another approach is the just list all 5 . we get : - 2 , 0,2 , 4 , 6 range of positive integers = 6 - 2 = 4 answer : c
