Answer:

The set
S of non-negative integers in the inequality
2x < 4 is


S = \{0, 1\}

Explanation:

The non-negative integers are given as
\mathbb{Z}_(\ge 0) = \{ 0, 1, 2, \ldots \}

For the inequality
2x < 4, we have


2x < 4 \implies x < (4)/(2) \implies x < 2

Therefore,


x\in \mathbb{R}:x\in(\infty, 2)

Note: 2 is not included

The integers are


\ldots -2, -1, 0, 1

And the non-negative integers are


0, 1
