Math Problem Statement

Use the definitions for the sets given below to determine whether each statement is true or false: A = {x ∈ Q: 0 < x < 20} B = {4, 8, 12, 16} C = {x ∈ Z: x is an integer multiple of 4} D = {0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20} E = {x ∈ N: 0 ≤ x ≤ 20} F = {4, 8, 12, 16, 0, 20} Select the statements that are true: 1. D ⊆ C 2. B ⊆ D 3. E ⊆ D 4. A ⊆ B

Solution

Let's analyze the sets provided in the image:

  1. Set A: A={xQ:0<x<20}A = \{x \in \mathbb{Q} : 0 < x < 20\}, which is the set of rational numbers between 0 and 20.
  2. Set B: B={4,8,12,16}B = \{4, 8, 12, 16\}, a set with specific integers.
  3. Set C: C={xZ:x is an integer multiple of 4}C = \{x \in \mathbb{Z} : x \text{ is an integer multiple of } 4\}, which includes multiples of 4.
  4. Set D: D={0,4,8,12,16,20}D = \{0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20\}, a set with even numbers between 0 and 20.
  5. Set E: E={xN:0x20}E = \{x \in \mathbb{N} : 0 \leq x \leq 20\}, which represents the set of natural numbers between 0 and 20.
  6. Set F: F={4,8,12,16,0,20}F = \{4, 8, 12, 16, 0, 20\}, which is identical to Set D.

Now, let's evaluate the subset relationships:

  1. DCD \subseteq C:

    • D={0,4,8,12,16,20}D = \{0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20\}
    • CC includes multiples of 4, which are {0,4,8,12,16,20,}\{0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, \ldots\}.
    • True, because every element in DD is also in CC.
  2. BDB \subseteq D:

    • B={4,8,12,16}B = \{4, 8, 12, 16\}
    • D={0,4,8,12,16,20}D = \{0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20\}
    • True, because all elements of BB are in DD.
  3. EDE \subseteq D:

    • E={0,1,2,3,4,5,6,,20}E = \{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, \ldots, 20\}
    • D={0,4,8,12,16,20}D = \{0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20\}
    • False, because EE contains numbers (like 1, 2, etc.) that are not in DD.
  4. ABA \subseteq B:

    • AA is the set of all rational numbers between 0 and 20.
    • B={4,8,12,16}B = \{4, 8, 12, 16\}
    • False, because AA contains many rational numbers not in BB.

Final Answers:

  • DCD \subseteq C is true.
  • BDB \subseteq D is true.
  • EDE \subseteq D is false.
  • ABA \subseteq B is false.

Would you like more details or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions to consider:

  1. What is the difference between rational numbers and integers?
  2. How can you determine whether a set is a subset of another?
  3. Why is AA not a subset of BB, even though both contain numbers between 0 and 20?
  4. Can a set be a subset of itself?
  5. How would these relationships change if the sets included different ranges?

Tip: A subset relation holds if and only if every element of the first set is also an element of the second set.
