Question

Consider the set of integers greater than -2 and less than 6. A subset of this set is the positive factors of 5. What is the complement of this subset?

Answer 1

first, list the integers in the set
greater than -2 and less than 6
what are they?

Answer 2

{ -1,0,1,2,3,4,5}

Answer 3

2nd list the positive factors of 5: 1 and 5

the complement are all the integers in the set that are not 1 and 5

Answer 4

{0,2,3,4}?

Answer 5

we have the "big set" and a subset {1,5}
the complement of {1,5} is "big set" - {1,5}

just take out 1 and 5 from the original set

{-1,0,2,3,4}

yes
