Question

Determine whether set B is a subset of A. 7. A = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11} B = {3, 5, 7, 9, 11)

Answer 1

Answer:

Set  B is not a subset of A.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are sets, A and B with some elements, then B can be called subset of A, if every element of B is present in set A.

Example.

Example

A is set of integers

B is set of natural numbers

we know set of integers is all the negative numbers, 0 and all the positive discrete numbers like

A = {......-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4........}

B is set of positive discrete numbers from 1 to infinity)

B =  {1,2,3,4........}

Thus, we see every element of B is present in A . Hence B is subset of A

___________________________________________

Given

A = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11}

B = {3, 5, 7, 9, 11)

Here,

In set B . elements 3,5,7,11 are present in set A, but

Element 9 from set B is missing Set A.

Since, every element of Set B is not present in set A hence

Set  B is not a subset of A.
