Which of the following are sets ? Justify your answer.
The collection of all the months of a year beginning with the letter $\mathrm{J}.$
The collection of all months of a year beginning with the letter $\mathrm{J}$ is a well-defined collection of objects because one can definitely identity a month that belongs to this collection.
Hence, this collection is a set.
In each of the following, determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is true, prove it. If it is false, give an example.
If $A \not\subset B$ and $B \not\subset C,$ then $A \not\subset C$
Consider the sets
$\phi, A=\{1,3\}, B=\{1,5,9\}, C=\{1,3,5,7,9\}$
Insert the symbol $\subset$ or $ \not\subset $ between each of the following pair of sets:
$A, \ldots B$
Write the following sets in the set-builder form :
$\{ 1,4,9 \ldots 100\} $
Write the following as intervals :
$\{ x:x \in R, - 4\, < \,x\, \le \,6\} $
The smallest set $A$ such that $A \cup \{1, 2\} = \{1, 2, 3, 5, 9\}$ is
