Answer CHECK YOUR PROGRESS 1- 6.
Progress 1
Answer:
a. X, Y and Z have exactly the same three elements a, b, and c. Therefore X, Y, and Z are
simply different ways to represent the same set.
b. The set {a,{a, b},{a}} has there elements, element a, the elements {a ,b } which itself a
set, an element {a} which another set.
c. A₁ = {1 ,1^2}, A2= {2, 2^2}, A3 = { 3, 3^2}
Progress 2
Answer:
a. {x € Z l -5<x<1} is the open interval of real numbers (strictly) between -5 and 1.

b. {x € Z l -5<x<1} is a set of all integers ( strictly) between -5 and 1 . It is equal to the set
{-4, -3,-2,-1,0}.
c. Since all integers are negative, {x € Z l -5<x<1}= {-4, -3,-2,-1,0}.
Progress 3
Answer:
a. False
b. False
c. True
d. True
e. True
Progress 4
Answer:
a. True
b. False
c. False
d. False
e. False

Progress 5
Answer:
a. False
b. True
c. True In the ordered pairs (2,5) the first element is 2 and the second elements is 5.

Progress 6
Answer:
a. Find Y×Z { (a,1),(a,2),(b,1),(b,2),(c,1),(c,2) }
b. Find Z×Y { (1,a),(1,b),(1,c),(2,a),(2,b),(2,c)}
c. Find Y×Y { (a,b),(a,c),(a,a),(b,a),(b,c),(b,b),(c,a),(c,b),(c,c) }
d. Y×Z has six elements. Note that this is the number of elements in Y times the number of
elements in Z. Z×Y has six element, the number of elements in Z times the number of
elements in Y. Y×Y has nine elements, the number of elements in Y times the number of
elements in Y.
