The empty set can be denoted as { } or, but not as{}.8.The statementBAis true because all theelements that are inBare also inA.9.The statement=BCis false because there areelements inB(aandb) that are not in C. There isalso an element inC, namelyd, that is not inB.10.The statementBDis false. In order forBtobe a proper subset ofD, it must be the case thatall the elements that are inBare also inD. Inaddition, there must be at least one element inDthat is not inB. Since=BD, this is not thecase.11.The statement∅ ⊆Ais true. The empty set is asubset of every set.12.The statement{}50,1, 2,3, 4,5is true because5 is an element of the set.13.The statement Michigan{Illinois, Indiana,Michigan, Wisconsin} is false because Michiganisan element of the set.14.The statement83{|=pxxqwherepandqare digits,0q}is true because83is of the formpqwhere8=pand3=q.15.The whole numbers are numbers in the set{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...}.16.The numbers in the setwhereandare integers,0,=px xpqqqare called rational numbers.17.The set of irrational numbers have decimalrepresentations that neither terminate nor repeat.18.False. If a number is rational, it cannot beirrational and vice-versa.19.False. Decimals that terminate or repeatrepresent rational numbers, but decimals that donot repeat and do not terminate representirrational numbers.20.True. The set of rational numbers is a subset ofthe set of real numbers.21.True. The set of rational numbers and the set ofirrational numbers do not have any numbers incommon.22.10 and1234=are the only natural numbers.23.10,003=, and1234=are the whole numbers.24.9, 10,003=, and1234=are the integers.
