Math Problem Statement
2 ⊆ {1, 2, 3}
Solution
The expression shown in the image is:
This expression is not valid because 2 is an individual element, while the symbol "⊆" (subset) is used to denote a relationship between sets. For the subset notation to make sense, both the left-hand and right-hand sides should be sets.
To make it correct, it should be something like:
This is true, as the set is a subset of , meaning that all elements of are contained within .

- Can an empty set be a subset of any set?
- How do we determine if one set is a subset of another?
- What is the meaning of a proper subset, and how is it denoted?
- Can a set be a subset of itself?
Tip: Always ensure both sides of the subset symbol are sets for the notation to be valid.
