Some questions about sets |
2019-12-15 |
|
From M.Azzi:
Hello,
(I) - In set theory can a given set contain both elements and subsets, as "elements", as in :
A = {1,2,{},3,{{3}},8}
If yes :
1 - then, is |A| = 6 ?
2 - if the empty set is a subset of every set,
2. 1. does {} = {{}}, {{{}}} etc? , and if the is true what are the respective cardinals of the latter three? (0,1,1?).
2 . 2. Why isn't {1} equal to {{},1}? and why should these two be equal without having the same cardinality?
Sorry if my questions are not well expressed.
Thank you for the great service you provide.

From Oliver:
Hi!
I'm looking to find out how many combinations (non repeating) there are for 6 cities.
If we name the cities A to F, possible combinations would include;
A.
A, B.
B.
A, B, C.
A, C.
B, C.
C.
and so on.
Thank you!

A question about the empty set |
2018-06-17 |
|
From Andrey:
Hello there!
I got that an empty set is a subset of every set.
There is a question.
Is an empty set an element of every set?
∅ ⊆ {x}True
∅ ∈{x}?
Sorry if the question is easy. A set theory is a bit confusing.

A question in set theory |

From Jared:
If a set A={1,2,3} and set B={ {}, 1}
Can B be a subset of A? Since every Set contains an {} ?

The empty set |

From wahab:
Why a null set is called a set?
the definition of set includes that a set is a collection of well defined objects
But a null set is having no value.

Composition of functions |
2002-04-06 |
|
From Yvonne:
In our new text book, the following question occurs: State the domain and range of g(f(x))given that f(x) = -x2 - 4 and g(x) = sqrt(x) The range of f(x), x<=-4, is the domain of g(x). BUT, there is no solution in the Real numbers for g(f(x))= sqrt(-x2 - 4). In the solutions it says that this is not a function and therefore does not have a domain or range. Is it a relation? Is it anything?
