Question

I need help I cant decide between two answers B and C

Answer 1

Numbers that are divisible by 4... are they going to be even numbers?

Answer 2

Think about what numbers are in the original set. Even numbers between 1 and 21.

Answer 3

@agent0smith no maybe 2 is but the rest I don't know

Answer 4

x is an even number between 1 and 21.

List all even numbers between 1 and 21.

Answer 5

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20
do u understand what I am asking?

Answer 6

Now look at B - list all the numbers divisible by 4 between 1 and 21.

Answer 7

I think 2 is one of them

Answer 8

I'm not sure what you're saying. 2 is one of what?

This is the original set we're given in the question: {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20}

B is all the numbers divisible by 4, between 1 and 21 - I'd list them so you can see whether or not it is a subset of the original, if you're unsure.

Answer 9

yes I am unsure I don't know subset

Answer 10

Subset means it's a part of the original set.

Eg: if this is set A: {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20}

and this is set B: {2, 4, 6}

Then B is a subset of A, since all the numbers in B, are also in A.

Answer 11

would the answer be D for the question

Answer 12

Look at choice B - list all the numbers divisible by 4 between 1 and 21. Write them all out.

See if it's a subset of the original.

Answer 13

2, 8, 12 I think are divisible by 4

Answer 14

There's more...

Answer 15

And 2 is not divisible by 4 :/

Answer 16

16 20 40

Answer 17

List ALL the numbers that are divisible by 4, between 1 and 21.

Answer 18

,4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36 . . .

Answer 19

"...between 1 and 21"

Answer 20

4,8,12,16 and 20

Answer 21

Now compare to the original set... is that a subset of it?

Original: {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20}

This one: {4, 8, 12, 16, 20}

Answer 22

no I don't think so

Answer 23

so @agent0smith the answer would be D

Answer 24

I mean B

Answer 25

Original: {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20}

This one: {4, 8, 12, 16, 20}

Are all the numbers in the bottom set in the original set?

Answer 26

not all of them

Answer 27

Look at all the numbers in the bottom set. Then look at all the numbers in the original set.

Answer 28

no they are not in the original

Answer 29

Damn dude. Look harder.

Original:

This one: {4, 8, 12, 16, 20}

Answer 30

yes the original set has the same numbers as the list made

Answer 31

I don't know why you couldn't see that for yourself earlier...

Now look at option C

Original: {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20}

Option C: {6, 9, 12}

Answer 32

I see so C is the answer

Answer 33

@agent0smith is C right

Answer 34

You tell me.

Original: {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20}

Option C: {6, 9, 12}

Are all the numbers in option C, in the original set?

Answer 35

no

Answer 36

Tell me which ones are in the original set then, and which ones are not?

Answer 37

6 and 12 are in the original set 9 isnt

Answer 38

I put the answer as C @agent0smith
