In mathematics subsets are the terms used in set theory. The preparation depends on the elements in the sets. For the preparation for subset we have the derive a set by having elements of another set. The subset preparation uses the symbol `sube` .
For example, C `sube` A denotes C is subset of the set A and A `supe` C denotes A is a superset of C.
Understanding subset of a set is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.
Explanation to preparation for subset:
The preparation for subset is as follows.
Every set has a subset which is derived from the set. This subset may have all elements from the given set and it may be an empty set.
For example, set V = {l, p m , n}. Some of the possible subset for the given set V are { } , {l, p, m , n} , {l}, {l , p} , { m, n} , {p, m, n} etc. In this the set V is called as superset.
Example problems to preparation for subset:
Example: 1
Prepare the subsets of a set C = {2, 3}
Solution:Given: C = {2, 3}
Subsets has the elements from the given set C = {2, 3} such as { }, {2}, {3}, {2, 3}
Example: 2
Which of the following is true for the sets A = {1, 2, 3, 4} B = {3, 4}?
a) B `supe` A
b) A `sube` B
c) A = B
d) B` sube` A
Solution:Given A = {1, 2, 3, 4} B = {3, 4}
B has the elements 3, 4 which is in A and has the elements 1, 2, 3, 4 where 1, 2 are not in B.So, B is a subset of A and A is a super set of B. (B `sube` A)
Answer: d
Algebra is widely used in day to day activities watch out for my forthcoming posts on Sum of Exterior Angles Formula and Multiplication Fractions. I am sure they will be helpful.
