Give
reasons for your answers. (2 pts. each)
a.) Is B⊆A?
No, B is not a subset of A because all elements of set B are not available in set A
b.) Is C⊆A?
Yes, C is a subset of A because all elements of set C are present in set A
c.) Is C⊆C?
Yes, C is a subset of C because every set is a subset of itself
d.) Is B⊂A?
No, B is not proper subset of A because not all elements of set B are present in Set A.
d.) Is C⊂A?
Yes, C is a proper subset of A because all elements of set C are present in set A.
Additionally, the set A has the element c and f which are not in set C thus, the sets A and C are
not the same set.
1.) Let A = {w, x, y, z} and B = {a, b} Write each of the following sets and indicate the number
of elements that are in each set. (6 pts. each)
a.) A x B
{(w, a), (w, b), (x, a), (x, b), (y, a), (y, b), (z, a), (z, b)}
Number of elements:8
b.) B x A
{(a, w), (a, x), (a, y), (a, z), (b, w), (b, x), (b, y), (b, z)}
Number of elements:8
c.) A x A
{(w, w), (w, x), (w, y), (w, z), (x, w), (x, x), (x, y), (x, z), (y, w), (y, x), (y, y), (y,
z), (z, w), (z, x), (z, y), (z, z),}
Number of elements:16
d.) B x B
{(a, a), (a, b), (b, a), (b, b)}
Number of elements:4

No
3.) Is (5, -5) = ( -5, 5)? (2 pts.)
