If A = [0, 2] and B = (0, 2), which relation is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B ⊆ A
A = [0, 2] contains all real numbers from 0 through 2, including both endpoints. B = (0, 2) contains only numbers strictly between 0 and 2, so it excludes 0 and 2. Every element of B is therefore an element of A, which proves B ⊆ A. The sets are not equal, and 0 is not an element of B because B is open at 0.
