what does it mean to be a subset?

anonymous · Answer

im not sure.:/

skullpatrol · Answer

You know what a set is, right?

skullpatrol · Answer

A subset is some part of the set contained within it.

amistre64 · Answer

can you numberfy the set:  {integers divisible by 2 from 2 to 20}

what are all the numbers that this rule would apply to?

anonymous · Answer

sorry battery died. hmmm like (2,4,6...)?

amistre64 · Answer

correct, except the ... is bad notation since it suggests that there is no end to the set, and we know the set is finite; from 2 to 24 right?

anonymous · Answer

yes

amistre64 · Answer

err, 2 to 20

amistre64 · Answer

so, now that we are back up and running ... which set contains some (or all) of the same numbers?

amistre64 · Answer

{24, 26, 28}  ; these are not between 2 and 20

 {4, 6, 8, 10} ; these look good

 {integers divisible by 4 from 2 to 40} ; this has values larger then 20 in it (up to 40)

 {0, 2, 4, 6 …} ; this has a zero, and goes on forever, so it has values that
                            are not in the defined set as well
