2. List the elements of each set and give its cardinality.

A = {x Z + : x is an integer multiple of 3 and x < 16}

3. Define sets A, B and C as follows:

A = {2,4,6,8}

B = {x Z: x is even and 0 < x < 10}

C = {x Z: x is even and 0 < x 10}

Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. Justify your answer.

(a) A B

(b) A B

4. Find the power set for set A={a, b, c}

Explanation / Answer

Given A = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8}, B = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}, C = {0, 3, 6, 9}

(a) ABC
AB = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8} {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8}
ABC = (AB)C = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8}{0, 3, 6, 9} = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9}

(b) ABC
AB = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8} {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} = {0, 2, 4 }
ABC = (AB)C {0, 2, 4 } {0, 3, 6, 9} = {0}

(c) (AB)C
AB = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8} {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8}
(AB)C = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8}{0, 3, 6, 9} = {0, 3, 6}

(d) A(BC)
(BC) = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}- {0, 3, 6, 9} = {1, 2, 4}
A(BC) = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8} - {1, 2, 4} = {0, 6, 8}

(e) (AB)C
(AB) = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8} - {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} = {6, 8}
(AB)C = {6, 8}- {0, 3, 6, 9} = { 8 }

4) Power Set of A is
Answer: P(A) = { {}, {a}, {b}, {c}, {a, b}, {a, c}, {b, c}, {a, b, c} }
