VII. Let A = {2, 4, 6, 8}, B = {6, 9}, C = {4, 8}. Answer each of the following questions. Justify
your answers.
20. Is C ⊆ A?
No. It should be C ⊂ A because it is a proper subset. Every element in C is also present in A but
there are at least two elements in A which are not present in C.
21. Is B ⊆ A?
No. The correct is B ⊂ A, proper subset should be. Because not all elements found in another set.
22. Is C ⊂ A?
Yes. It is a proper subset. The reason is there are atleast two elements in A but not present in C.
23. Is B ⊆ B?
Yes. It is a subset. Both sets have the same elements which makes them equal.
VIII. State whether the following statements is true or false. Justify your answers.
24. {b} ⊆ {a, {b}, {c}}
True, because {b} is a set and its element can be found in the other set.
25. b ∈ {a, b, c}
True, because b is an element found in {a, b, c}.
26. {b} ∈ {a, b, c}
False, because {b} is a set, not an element of the other set.
27. b ⊆ {a, b, c}
False, because b is an element, not a set. Therefore, b can not be a subset of {a, b, c}.
28. {b} ⊆ {a, b, {c}}
True, because {b} is a set and its element can be found in the other set.
IX. Let A = {a, b, c, d} and B = {x, y}.
29. Use the set-roster notation to write each of the following sets. Moreover, determine the
cardinality of each set.
a. A x A
{(a, a), (a, b), (a, c), (a, d), (b, a), (b, b), (b, c), (b, d), (c, a), (c, b), (c, c), (c, d), (d, a), (d, b), (d,
c), (d, d)}
n (A x A) = 16
b. A x B
{(a ,x), (a, y), (b, x), (b, y), (c, x), (c, y), (d, x), (d, y)}
n (A x B) = 8
c. B x A
{(x, a), (x, b), (x, c), (x, d), (y, a), (y, b), (y, c), (y, d)}
n (B x A) = 8
d. B x B
{(x, x), (x, y), (y, x), (y, y)}
n (B x B) = 4
X. 30. Which of the following sets are equal?
A = {x ∈ R | –2 ≤ x ≤ 2} C = {x ∈ Z+| –2 < x ≤ 2}
B = {x ∈ Z | –2 ≤ x ≤ 2} D = {0, 1, 2}
A=B;C=D

10.The set of the whole number between 5 and 6. – null

11.The set of points on a line segment. – finite

12.The set of all odd numbers divisible by 2 – null

13.The set of even integers between 10 and 25. – finite

VI. Use the set-builder notation to describe each of the following:

16. {4, 8, 12, 16, 20, ...}

17. {0, 1, 4, 9, 25, 36}

{x|x ∈ N, first 5 perfect square numbers}
