Math Problem Statement
Solution
The statement in the image reads:
"If a set has one subset, then contains 0 elements."
This is true, and here's why:
-
Subsets of a set: A subset of a set is any set that can be formed by selecting some (or none) of the elements of , including the empty set.
-
Empty set as the only subset: If a set has exactly one subset, the only possibility is that this subset is the empty set . For any non-empty set, there will always be more than one subset (including the empty set and other combinations of elements).
-
Conclusion: Therefore, if has only one subset, it must be that (i.e., the set contains no elements), because the only subset of an empty set is the empty set itself.
