If A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and B = {x : x ∈ ℕ and x ≤ 4}, how are A and B related?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Equal sets
The natural numbers that are less than or equal to 4 are 1, 2, 3, and 4, assuming ℕ = {1, 2, 3, ...}. Thus B can be written in roster form as {1, 2, 3, 4}. Set A contains exactly the same elements, and the order in which elements are written does not matter. Therefore A = B, so they are equal sets.
