Question

Use the definitions for the sets given below to determine whether each statement is true or false:

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) false

(b) true

(c) true

(d) true

(e) false

(f) true

(g) false

(h) true

(i) true

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) 15 ⊂ A, since 15 is not a set, but an element, we cannot say of an element to be subset of a set. False

(b) {15} ⊂ A The subset {15} is a subset of A, since every element of {15}, that is 15, belongs to A.

15 ∈ {15} and 15 ∈ { x ∈ Z: x is an integer multiple of 3 } 15 is  an integer multiple of 3. since 15/3=5. True

(c)∅ ⊂ A

∅ is a subset of any set. True

(d) A ⊆ A

A is a subset of itself. True

(e)∅ ∈ B

∅ is not an element, it is a subset, so it does not belong to any set. False

(f)A is an infinite set.

Yes, there are infinite integers multiple of 3. True

(g)B is a finite set.

No, there are infinite integers that are perfect squares. False

(h)|E| = 3

The number of elements that belong to E are 3. True

(i)|E| = |F|

The number of elements that belong to F are 3. So is the number of elements of E. True
