Math Problem Statement
Solution
In the image provided, we have two sets and a question regarding their subset relationship:
- Set is defined as .
- Set is defined as .
The notation is used, which asks whether is a subset of .
Solution:
For to be true, every element of must also be an element of .
- The elements of are .
- The elements of are .
Since but , not all elements of are in . Therefore, is not a subset of .
Conclusion:
The statement is false because does not contain all elements of .
Would you like further details on subsets, or do you have any additional questions?
Here are some related questions that might interest you:
- What is the difference between a subset and a proper subset?
- How do we determine if two sets are equal?
- Can be a subset of in this case?
- What is the notation for a superset, and how does it differ from a subset?
- How can we represent the union and intersection of two sets?
Tip: When checking if one set is a subset of another, verify that all elements of the first set exist in the second set. If even one element is missing, it’s not a subset.
