geerky42 (geerky42):

I would say B since this set only have one element, {c,d}

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

Ok :) but can u tel me how we know that

geerky42 (geerky42):

Well, it's not infinte set, nor empty set Don't know what "None" set means?

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

it means none of these options

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

Are you sure about your answer @geerky42 ?

geerky42 (geerky42):

I only used my common sense, I wouldn't fully trust with my answer.

geerky42 (geerky42):

Do you know what singular set means?

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

it means the set which have only one element

geerky42 (geerky42):

Then it is singular set. It only have one element, {b,c}

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

geerky singleton is it have same meaning as singular?

geerky42 (geerky42):

Oh... -_- I somehow misread it as singular

geerky42 (geerky42):

I looked up, it is indeed same

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

No geerky it's was my mistake then i correct it, u r going right

geerky42 (geerky42):

Do you understand why it is singleton set?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singleton_%28mathematics%29 a singleton is a set with one element the set {{c,d}} has one element and that element is {c,d}. So {{c,d}} is a singleton

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

set having one element and singular word is used in matrices not in sets
