1.
a. The set is {-1, 1}.
b. The set is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}.
2.
a. The set {0, 3, 6, 9, 12} can be described as {x|x is a non-negative integer less than or equal to 12
and x is a multiple of 3}.
b. The set {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3} can be described as {x|x is an integer between -3 and 3 inclusive}.
3.
a. 2 is not an element of the set {x ∈ R| x is an integer greater than 1}.
b. 2 is not an element of the set {x ∈ R| x is the square of an integer}.
4
a. False. The empty set ∅ has no elements, including 0.
b. True. The complement of the empty set is the set of all possible elements, so {0} is a valid set
to be its complement.
c. False. The empty set is not an element of the set {0}.
d. True. The empty set has no elements, so it cannot contain any elements, including 0.
e. True. The set {0} contains the element 0, so it is an element of itself.
f. False. The set {0} is equal to itself, so it cannot be disjoint from itself.
g. False. The set {∅} is not equal to the empty set ∅, so it cannot be a subset of it. Therefore, {∅}
and {∅} are not equal, and thus not complementary sets.
5.
a. True. The empty set is an element of the set {∅}.
b. False. The set {∅,{∅}} has two elements, the empty set and another set containing the empty
set. The empty set is not an element of this set.
c. False. The set {∅} contains the empty set, not the other way around.
d. True. The set {{∅}} contains one element, which is the set {∅}.
e. False. The set {∅} is an element of the set {∅,{∅}}, so they are not disjoint.
f. True. The sets {{∅}} and {∅,{∅}} are disjoint, because they do not share any common elements.
6.
a. The set {a} has cardinality 1.
b. The set {{a}} has cardinality 1, as it contains one element, which is the set {a}.
c. The set {a, {a}} has cardinality 2, as it contains two distinct elements.
d. The set {a, {a}, {a, {a}}} has cardinality 3, as it contains three distinct elements.
e. The empty set ∅ has cardinality 0.
f. The set {∅} has cardinality 1, as it contains one element, which is the empty set.
g. The set {∅,{∅}} has cardinality 2, as it contains two distinct elements, both of which are the
empty set.
h. The set {∅,{∅},{∅,{∅}}} has cardinality 3, as it contains three distinct elements, which are the
empty set, a set containing the empty set, and a set containing a set containing the empty set.
7.
a. The set {a, b, {a,b}} has three elements, so its power set P({a, b, {a,b}}) has 2^3 = 8 elements.
b. The set {∅, a, {a}, {{a}}} has four elements, so its power set P({∅, a, {a}, {{a}}}) has 2^4 = 16
elements.
c. The empty set ∅ has one subset, namely the empty set itself, so P(P(∅)) has 2^1 = 2 elements.
However, the notation ∅ is ambiguous in the expression P(P(∅))∅, so it is unclear what set is being
referred to.
8.
a. Yes, the power set of the empty set is {∅}.
b. Yes, the power set of the set {a} is {∅, {a}}.
c. No, this set has 2^3 = 8 subsets, but {∅, {a}, {∅, a}} only has three elements.
d. Yes, this set is the power set of the set {a, b}.

NO. 1a
a) A U B = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6}
Explanation:
- A U B represents the union of sets A and B.
- The elements in set A are {1,2,3,4,5}.
- The elements in set B are {0,3,6}.
- The union of sets A and B is the set of all elements that are in either A or B or both.
- Therefore, A U B = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6}.
 NO. 1b
b) A∩B = {3}
Explanation:
- A n B represents the intersection of sets A and B.
- The elements in set A are {1,2,3,4,5}.
- The elements in set B are {0,3,6}.
- The intersection of sets A and B is the set of all elements that are in both A and B.
- Therefore, A ∩ B = {3}.
NO. 1c
-B = {1, 2, 4, 5}
Explanation:
- A-B represents the set difference of sets A and B.
- The elements in set A are {1,2,3,4,5}.
- The elements in set B are {0,3,6}.
- The set difference of A and B is the set of all elements that are in A but not in B.
- Therefore, A-B = {1, 2, 4, 5}.
NO. 4
1d
B-A = {0, 6}
Explanation:
- B-A represents the set difference of sets B and A.
- The elements in set A are {1,2,3,4,5}.
- The elements in set B are {0,3,6}.
- The set difference of B and A is the set of all elements that are in B but not in A.
- Therefore, B-A = {0, 6}.

Let A={0,2,4,6,8, 10}, B-{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}, and C={4,5,6,7,8,9, 1 0}.
a) A∩B∩C b) AUBUC c) (AUB)∩C d) (A∩B)UC
a) A∩B∩C represents the intersection of sets A, B, and C. To find the common elements in all
three sets, we need to look for the elements that are present in A, B, and C. The only element
that satisfies this condition is 6. Therefore, A∩B∩C = {6}.
b) AUBUC represents the union of sets A, B, and C. To find the elements that are present in at
least one of the sets, we need to combine all the elements of A, B, and C. However, we should
avoid duplicating the elements that are present in more than one set. Therefore, AUBUC = {0, 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}.
c) (AUB)∩C represents the intersection of sets AUB and C. To find the common elements in both
sets, we need to first find the union of A and B, and then find the intersection of the resulting set
and C. The union of A and B is {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10}. The intersection of this set and C is {4, 5, 6,
8, 10}. Therefore, (AUB)∩C = {4, 5, 6, 8, 10}.
d) (A∩B)UC represents the union of the intersection of sets A and B, and set C. To find the
intersection of A and B, we need to find the common elements in both sets. The common
elements in A and B are {0, 2, 4, 6}. Therefore, A∩B = {0, 2, 4, 6}. The union of A∩B and C is {0, 2,
4, 6, 8, 9, 10}. Therefore, (A∩B)UC = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10}.
