Directions. Identify the type of sets described by the following: (3pts each) 1. 2.
3.
4. A if 5. A if 6. A: if and 7. A and B: if and 8. A and B: if 9. A and B: if and 10. A and B: if and

B. True or False. Read and analyze the following statement. Write TRUE if the statement is correct. Write FALSE if the statement is incorrect and state the reason why the statement is incorrect. (3pts each)

  1. All equivalent sets are equal sets.
  2. All equal sets are equivalent sets.
  3. Sometimes, a subset has higher order than its originating set.
  4. A B will have an order of m+n if A and B has an order of m & n respectively.
  5. A subset can never have an equal number of elements with its originating set.

Solution

A. Identify the type of sets described:

  1. (No context provided) - Please provide more context or information for this item.
  2. (No context provided) - Please provide more context or information for this item.
  3. (No context provided) - Please provide more context or information for this item.
  4. A if (no further details) - The statement seems incomplete. Please provide more details to clarify the type of set being described.
  5. A if (no further details) - Similar to item 4, more context is required to identify the type of set.
  6. A: if and (no further details) - The description seems incomplete. Please provide additional information.
  7. A and B: if and (no further details) - More context is needed to determine the type of sets.
  8. A and B: if (no further details) - More context is needed.
  9. A and B: if and (no further details) - Incomplete description; needs more detail.
  10. A and B: if and (no further details) - Incomplete description; needs more detail.

For these items, additional context or details are required to clearly identify the types of sets described.


B. True or False:

  1. All equivalent sets are equal sets.
    False
    Reason: Equivalent sets have the same number of elements (same cardinality), but the elements themselves might be different, so they are not necessarily equal sets. Equal sets must have the exact same elements.

  2. All equal sets are equivalent sets.
    True
    Reason: If two sets are equal, they must contain exactly the same elements, and therefore they will have the same cardinality, making them equivalent.

  3. Sometimes, a subset has higher order than its originating set.
    False
    Reason: A subset can never have more elements than its originating set. By definition, a subset contains elements from the originating set, so its order (cardinality) is always less than or equal to that of the original set.

  4. A ∪ B will have an order of m + n if A and B have orders of m & n respectively.
    False
    Reason: The union of two sets A and B will not always have an order of m+nm + n. If there are common elements between A and B (i.e., their intersection is non-empty), the size of the union will be less than m+nm + n. The correct formula is AB=m+nAB|A \cup B| = m + n - |A \cap B|.

  5. A subset can never have an equal number of elements with its originating set.
    False
    Reason: A subset can have the same number of elements as its originating set, but this only occurs when the subset is the set itself. In this case, the subset is called an improper subset.


Do you need further details or clarification on any of the answers?

Related Questions:

  1. What is the difference between an equivalent set and an equal set?
  2. Can a subset ever have more elements than its parent set? Why or why not?
  3. How do we calculate the cardinality of the union of two sets with a non-empty intersection?
  4. When is a subset called an improper subset, and how does it differ from a proper subset?
  5. How does the concept of cardinality apply to infinite sets?

Tip:

Always check if sets have overlapping elements when determining the cardinality of their union to avoid overcounting shared elements.
