Math Problem Statement

The universal set, ξ, and set D are defined below. ξ = {all integers} D = {x : 5 < x ≤ 12} Select all of the statements below that are true.

Solution

Let's analyze the sets and the given statements to determine which are true.

The universal set ξ\xi is defined as the set of all integers: ξ={all integers}\xi = \{ \text{all integers} \}

Set DD is defined as: D={x:5<x12}D = \{ x : 5 < x \leq 12 \} This means DD includes all integers greater than 5 and less than or equal to 12. So, DD can be written as: D={6,7,8,9,10,11,12}D = \{6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12\}

Now, let's evaluate each statement:

  1. 9.5D9.5 \in D:

    • 9.5 is not an integer and DD contains only integers, so this statement is false.
  2. D=D = \emptyset:

    • DD is not an empty set; it contains integers from 6 to 12. Hence, this statement is false.
  3. 6D6 \in D:

    • 6 is within the range 5<6125 < 6 \leq 12. Hence, this statement is true.
  4. 3D3 \in D:

    • 3 is not within the range 5<3125 < 3 \leq 12. Hence, this statement is false.
  5. 12D12 \in D:

    • 12 is within the range 5<12125 < 12 \leq 12. Hence, this statement is true.
  6. 5D5 \in D:

    • 5 is not within the range 5<5125 < 5 \leq 12. Hence, this statement is false.

The true statements are:

  • 6D6 \in D
  • 12D12 \in D

Would you like more details or have any questions about this solution? Here are some related questions:

  1. How would the set DD change if the condition was 5x125 \leq x \leq 12?
  2. What is the cardinality of set DD as defined in the problem?
  3. Can you list all the elements of the set DD explicitly?
  4. What would the set DD be if the upper bound was changed to x<12x < 12?
  5. How would the interpretation change if DD included non-integer values within the same range?

Tip: When analyzing set membership, always ensure to check both the type of elements (e.g., integers, reals) and the range conditions (e.g., strict vs. inclusive inequalities).
