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

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?
