Suppose U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}is the universal set and P={1,2,3,4}. What is P?
A.{5,6,7,8}
B.{1,2,3,4,5,6,78}
C.{1,2,3,4}
D. Cannot be determined.
I think it's either B or D. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you!
Oh wow, I should of read that better.
There is no typo, it just gives me the answer and I was too ignorant to read it twice.
Anyways, thank you so much for clearing that up for me.
To determine the answer, we need to understand the concept of subsets. A subset is a set that contains only elements from another set.
In this case, the universal set U is {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}, and the set P is {1,2,3,4}.
Now, let's compare the elements in P with the elements in U. If all the elements in P are also in U, then P is a subset of U.
Looking at P={1,2,3,4}, we can see that all the elements in P {1,2,3,4} are also in U {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}. Therefore, P is a subset of U.
So, the correct answer is C. {1,2,3,4}.
Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Well done!
Do you have a typo?
You said, "What is P ?"
but you said P = {1,2,3,4} , so we know it
