Math Problem Statement

Consider the sets X = {0}, A = {-1, 0, 1}, B = {4, 5}, C = {p / (q + 1) ∈ Q | p, q ∈ Z, 5 ≤ p ≤ 6 and -1 ≤ q ≤ 1}, and D = {4/5, 9/6, 16/7, 25/8, 36/9}. List the elements of C, A × B, A × A, 2^{X × A}, and describe A and D using set builder notation.

Solution

Let's break down the problem presented in the image and solve it step by step. We are given the following sets:

  • X={0}X = \{ 0 \}
  • A={1,0,1}A = \{ -1, 0, 1 \}
  • B={4,5}B = \{ 4, 5 \}
  • C={pq+1Qp,qZ,5p6 and 1q1}C = \left\{ \frac{p}{q+1} \in \mathbb{Q} \mid p, q \in \mathbb{Z}, 5 \leq p \leq 6 \text{ and } -1 \leq q \leq 1 \right\}
  • D={45,96,167,258,369}D = \left\{ \frac{4}{5}, \frac{9}{6}, \frac{16}{7}, \frac{25}{8}, \frac{36}{9} \right\}

Now, let's solve each part.

1. List all elements of CC

Set CC is defined by a rule involving integers pp and qq. The conditions are:

  • pZp \in \mathbb{Z}, where 5p65 \leq p \leq 6
  • qZq \in \mathbb{Z}, where 1q1-1 \leq q \leq 1

Let's calculate all possible values of pq+1\frac{p}{q+1}:

For p=5p = 5:

  • When q=1q = -1, 5q+1=50\frac{5}{q+1} = \frac{5}{0}, which is undefined.
  • When q=0q = 0, 5q+1=51=5\frac{5}{q+1} = \frac{5}{1} = 5.
  • When q=1q = 1, 5q+1=52\frac{5}{q+1} = \frac{5}{2}.

For p=6p = 6:

  • When q=1q = -1, 6q+1=60\frac{6}{q+1} = \frac{6}{0}, which is undefined.
  • When q=0q = 0, 6q+1=61=6\frac{6}{q+1} = \frac{6}{1} = 6.
  • When q=1q = 1, 6q+1=62=3\frac{6}{q+1} = \frac{6}{2} = 3.

Thus, C={5,52,6,3}C = \left\{ 5, \frac{5}{2}, 6, 3 \right\}.

2. A×BA \times B

This represents the Cartesian product of sets AA and BB, meaning we take all possible pairs (a,b)(a, b) where aAa \in A and bBb \in B. The pairs are:

A×B={(1,4),(1,5),(0,4),(0,5),(1,4),(1,5)}A \times B = \{ (-1, 4), (-1, 5), (0, 4), (0, 5), (1, 4), (1, 5) \}

3. A×AA \times A

Similarly, we calculate the Cartesian product of AA with itself:

A×A={(1,1),(1,0),(1,1),(0,1),(0,0),(0,1),(1,1),(1,0),(1,1)}A \times A = \{ (-1, -1), (-1, 0), (-1, 1), (0, -1), (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, -1), (1, 0), (1, 1) \}

4. 2X×A2^{X \times A}

This refers to the power set of the Cartesian product X×AX \times A. First, we calculate X×AX \times A:

X×A={(0,1),(0,0),(0,1)}X \times A = \{ (0, -1), (0, 0), (0, 1) \}

The power set of X×AX \times A is the set of all subsets of X×AX \times A. So, the power set is:

2X×A={,{(0,1)},{(0,0)},{(0,1)},{(0,1),(0,0)},{(0,1),(0,1)},{(0,0),(0,1)},{(0,1),(0,0),(0,1)}}2^{X \times A} = \{ \emptyset, \{(0, -1)\}, \{(0, 0)\}, \{(0, 1)\}, \{(0, -1), (0, 0)\}, \{(0, -1), (0, 1)\}, \{(0, 0), (0, 1)\}, \{(0, -1), (0, 0), (0, 1)\} \}

5. Describe AA and DD using set-builder notation

  • A={xZ1x1}A = \{ x \in \mathbb{Z} \mid -1 \leq x \leq 1 \}
  • D={n2n+4nZ,2n6}D = \left\{ \frac{n^2}{n+4} \mid n \in \mathbb{Z}, 2 \leq n \leq 6 \right\}

These notations describe AA and DD using conditions on xx and nn.


Let me know if you'd like further details or explanations.

Here are five related questions to explore further:

  1. What is the cardinality of set CC?
  2. How many elements are in the power set 2A×B2^{A \times B}?
  3. Can CC be expressed using a different interval for pp and qq?
  4. How does the Cartesian product change if BB had more elements?
  5. What is the complement of set DD with respect to the rational numbers?

Tip: When working with Cartesian products, remember that the order of elements matters in pairs like (a,b)(a, b) and (b,a)(b, a).
