Math Problem Statement
∅ ∈ {∅, {∅}} and ∅ ⊆ {∅, {∅}}
Solution
The image shows two questions related to set theory. Let's analyze each one:
Question 1:
This asks whether the empty set () is an element of the set .
- The set contains two elements: one is (the empty set itself), and the other is (a set containing the empty set).
- The symbol checks for membership.
- Since is listed as an element of this set, the statement is True.
Question 2:
This asks whether the empty set () is a subset of the set .
- A set is a subset of a set if every element of is also an element of .
- The empty set is a subset of every set, including , because the empty set has no elements, so this condition is vacuously true.
- Therefore, this statement is True.
Let me know if you need any further explanation or details!
Here are 5 related questions to deepen understanding:
- What is the difference between and in set theory?
- Can be true? Why or why not?
- Is true or false?
- How would the result change if the question was ?
- Can a set be both an element and a subset of another set?
Tip: In set theory, always pay attention to whether the question asks for membership () or subset () relationships, as they test different concepts!
