4. Suppose we have the following sets:

A
B
C
D
E

=
=
=
=
=

{
{
{
{

1,
1,
2,
1,

2 points per part

1, 2, 2 }
2, 3, 4 }
3, 4 }
2 }

Provide all combinations of sets for which the following statements are true, where Si denotes
a set. Do not use a set more than once in a single combination.
Example:
Question: S1 { 1 , 2 } = S2
Answer: S1 = A, S2 = D
S1 = B, S2 = D
*Note that we cannot have S1 = D, S2 = D because it would mean we used D more than once.
If no solutions exist, write None.
a) S1 { 1 } = S2
S1 = A, S2 = D
S1 = D, S2 = A
S1 = C, S2 = B

b) S1 { 4 } = S2
S1 = A, S2 = E
S1 = D, S2 = E

c) S1 { 1 , 4 } = S2 { 1 , 4 } and S1 { 1 , 4 } = S2 { 1 , 4 }
S1 = A, S2 = D
S1 = D, S2 = A
(As seen in recitation, this is equivalent to S1 = S2)

5. Find the sets A and B if A B = { 3, 6, 9 }, B A = { 2, 10 }, and

A B = { 1, 5, 7, 8 }. If the answer cannot be determined, write insufficient
information.

A = (A B) (A B) = { 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 }

B = (B A) (A B) = { 2, 3, 6, 9, 10 }

3 points possible

6. Find the sets A and B if A (B A) = { 3, 5, 8 }, and

B (A B) = .
If the answer cannot be determined, write insufficient information.

A = A (B A) = { 3, 5, 8 }

B = B (A B) =

3 points possible

7. Suppose

= { 0, 1, 2, ..., i-1, i }.

3 points per part

a) Find

{ 0, 1, 2 }

b) Find
=
{ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }

8. Let the universe consist of positive integers less than or equal to 5. Suppose
and
= { 3, 4 }. Provide the cardinality of the following:

{ 1, 2, 5 }

____3______

b)

____4______

d)
