Math Problem Statement
Determine the cardinality of the following sets. A={1,3,9,12,15,18,24} B={0,2,4,…………20} C={} D={5,5,5,5,5} E={R,E,M,E,M,B,E,R}
Solution
Let's determine the cardinality of each set:
-
Set A:
The set has 7 distinct elements.
Cardinality of : 7. -
Set B:
This set contains all even numbers from 0 to 20, inclusive. These elements are , giving 11 distinct elements.
Cardinality of : 11. -
Set C:
is an empty set, containing no elements.
Cardinality of : 0. -
Set D:
Although the number 5 appears multiple times, a set only considers unique elements. Therefore, , containing a single unique element.
Cardinality of : 1. -
Set E:
After removing duplicates, , which contains 4 unique elements.
Cardinality of : 4.
Summary of Cardinalities:
Would you like further explanation on any of these steps?
Here are five related questions for additional practice:
- How do we determine the cardinality of the union of two sets?
- If a set has repeating elements, how does that affect its cardinality?
- What is the cardinality of the set of all odd numbers from 1 to 19?
- How does the concept of an empty set differ from a set with one element?
- Can a set have infinite cardinality? Provide an example.
Tip: Remember, in set theory, elements in a set are always unique, meaning duplicates do not affect the count of elements.
