set theory

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

State which of the following sets are finite or infinite : \(\large \color{black}{\begin{align}& (i)\ \{x : x \in \mathbb{N} \ \ and \ \ (x – 1) (x –2) = 0\} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & (ii)\ \{x : x \in \mathbb{N} \ \ and \ \ x^{2} = 4\} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & (iii)\ \{x : x \in \mathbb{N} \ \ and \ \ 2x –1 = 0\} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)

sorry I've done this stuff in the past but i cant recall it well enough.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

well lets try each one condition solution :)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

to me i and ii are finite and iii is Empty which is also finite

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

in which way this confuses u @mathmath333 ??

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

prove that an empty set is finite set

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

awww thats so cute question :P

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

i have many proves the most lovely one is using this :- there are infinite subsets of an infinite set and there are finite subsets of a finite set. thus subsets of an Empty set is ( 2^0=1) which is finite QED.

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

does empty set has a subset

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yes it does have 1 subset which is also an empty set (itself only)
