Mark all sets that have the set of rational numbers Q as a proper subset. - ANSWER The set of complex C
and the set of real numbers R
Mark the sets that are NOT contained in the set of real numbers R as a proper subset. - ANSWER The set
of imaginary numbers
For any two sets ( C u B)' = - ANSWER C' n B'
,Which of the following are valid for any sets F and G:
1) F - G = G - F
2) F' = G
3) F u G = G' u F'
4) F u G = G u F
5) F n G = G n F
6) F n G - F = G - G - ANSWER Last 3 are valid
Let Z be the universe for the following two sets A = { x > 4} and B = { 2 < x < 10}. What is (A n B)' = ? -
ANSWER (A n B)' = {. . . -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11. . . )
A is a subset of B. Which of the following is NOT true? - ANSWER B - A = empty set
Consider R to be the universe for the following sets.
N = (1,2,3,4 .... ) Z= {...-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 , 3 ....} Even = ( ...-4, -2, 0, 2 , 4 ...} R+ = {all positive decimals}
Note : u - means 'union'; n means 'intersection' , A' - means a complement to A
Check all statements below that are true. - ANSWER N u R+ = R+
Z - Even = Odd
Z u Even = Z
(R+ )' = {all non positive reals}
(Z n N )'= {all reals that are not natural numbers}
R+ - Z = {all positive real numbers that are not integer}
U = {all students in our logic class}.
Let A = { math majors}, B = {current calculus students}, C= {students who play an instrument }
C n A' n B = - ANSWER { non math majors who take calculus students and play an instrument }
U = {all people in USA} . Let A = {all university students}, B = {people in California}.
, Then (A u B)' = - ANSWER {Non Californians who are not students}
R (the set of reals) is the universe . A= (1,4 ) B= [-3, 2] R+ = {all positive decimals} .
Check all true statements below. - ANSWER R+ - B = (2, infinity)
R+ u (R+ )' = R
A n B = (1, 2]
A - R+ = Empty set
A u B = [-3, 4)
A = {a, b, c}. Check the true statement about the power set of A (called 2 A ) - ANSWER 2 A has
cardinality 8
N = {natural numbers}. Check all correct statements about the power set 2N . - ANSWER {0} is an
element of 2N
2N contains the set of natural numbers N as an element
2N contains empty set as an element
{1}, {1 ,2}, {1,2,3} , {1,2,3,4} are some of the elements of 2N
2N is infinite
{even natural numbers} are an element of 2N
When two infinite sets are equal? - ANSWER If all their elements are the same
When two infinite sets have the same cardinality? - ANSWER When there is 1:1 correspondence
between their elements
Let F = {all positive fractions smaller than 1}. Which of the following statements is not true :
F is a subset of Q
We can number the elements of F 1,2,3,4 ...
We can make a list of the elements of F
F has as many elements as Q
