Prove using set logic and notation. 1.IF A is a subset of B then A is a proper subset of B

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

are you sure you have the question right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep that is the question im supposed to prove or disprove it

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

well thats different

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my bad

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

does it seam like a true statement?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[ (A\subseteq B)\Rightarrow (A\subsetneq B)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the way you stated it there it does not seem so but

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think there is an instance where this statement is true is where there exist an element in B that is not in A hence A and B are not equal but A is still a subset of B

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

the statement is an implication , if an implication is ever false, it is always false the case to consider is when A=B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i understand what ur saying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nahh ur right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The problem is that we are dealing with one instance and by definition of a proper set If A is a subset of B and A is not equal to B then A is a proper set of B So if i cannot show that A is not equal to with what was given to me the statement must be false?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait nevermind i get it LOL
