Question

Select the symbol = (equal to) or (not equal to) to make the expression true.
{2, 4, 6} ? {6, 4, 2}
so confuse...please help

Answer 1

are those sets

Answer 2

Are you trying to compare the numbers in the brackets?

Answer 3

= because the two sets contain the exact same elements. The order doesn't matter.

Answer 4

@Mertsj what do you by that...this is really confusing to me??:/

Answer 5

{2,4,6} is a set. It has 3 elements. The elements are 2, 4, and 6

Answer 6

{6,4,2} is a set. It has 3 elements. The elements are 2, 4, and 6

Answer 7

Therefore the sets are the same set since they contain the same elements.

Answer 8

Select the symbol = (equal to) or (not equal to) to make the expression true.

{0} ? { }
okay I think I get it....so that means this is also =???

Answer 9

Equal sets contain identical elements. e.g. if A = {1,2,3} and B = {1,2,3} then A and B are equal - their elements are the same.

Answer 12

What are the whole numbers between 1 and 5 inclusive?

Answer 13

is it all the numbers between 1 and 5??

Do you know what the set of whole numbers is?
