Math Problem Statement
Let U = {p, q, r, s, t}, D = {q, s, p, r}, E = {r, t}, F = {p, t}, and G = {s}. Determine whether the statement is true or false. D' ⊂ E
Solution
To determine whether the statement is true or false, let's break it down step by step.
Definitions and Steps:
-
Universal Set (U):
-
Set :
-
Complement of Set (denoted as ):
The complement of in is the set of elements in that are not in . -
Set :
-
Subset Relation:
Now, we check if .
and .Since all elements of (which is just ) are in , we conclude that .
Conclusion:
The statement is true.
