Let A={xN|x2<37} and B={3k+1|k{1,2,3,4}} be sets.

1. List the elements of A and B, and the subsets of B.

2. For any sets AB, and C, prove or disprove the claim: If ABBC, then AC.

3. Show {12a+4b|a,bZ}={4c|cZ}

I assume N is for natural numbers and Z is for integers.

 

1.

A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

B = {4, 7, 10, 13}

Subsets of B are any combination of the elements of B (excluding some).

 

2. 

If A is contained within B, and B is contained with C, A is contained within C. 

This is, I suppose, one of those annoying proofs which I take for granted and see no way of prooving it other than it is logical. It is here I should also note that I have never studied set theory, and I'm probably getting everything wrong .

 

3.

{4(3a+b)|a,b Z} = {4c|cZ}

{3a+b|a,bZ}={c|cZ}

3a+bZ

cZ

(I don't know what to do after that....)

 

Again, I've never studied this, so apologies in advance for faulty logic everywhere.
