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 is defined as the set of all integers:
Set is defined as: This means includes all integers greater than 5 and less than or equal to 12. So, can be written as:
Now, let's evaluate each statement:
-
:
- 9.5 is not an integer and contains only integers, so this statement is false.
-
:
- is not an empty set; it contains integers from 6 to 12. Hence, this statement is false.
-
:
- 6 is within the range . Hence, this statement is true.
-
:
- 3 is not within the range . Hence, this statement is false.
-
:
- 12 is within the range . Hence, this statement is true.
-
:
- 5 is not within the range . Hence, this statement is false.
The true statements are:
Would you like more details or have any questions about this solution? Here are some related questions:
- How would the set change if the condition was ?
- What is the cardinality of set as defined in the problem?
- Can you list all the elements of the set explicitly?
- What would the set be if the upper bound was changed to ?
- How would the interpretation change if 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).
