Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Intro To Proofs

If

Find the cardinality of \displaystyle B\cap B

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 6

\displaystyle 10

\displaystyle 0

\displaystyle 5

\displaystyle 7

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 6

Explanation:

The question is asking us to find the number of elements in the intersection of B and B .

We simply find the common elements of the two sets, and count the number of elements.


Now we simply count the number of elements in this set.

\displaystyle 6

Example Question #2 : Intro To Proofs

If

\displaystyle \\A= \left\{6, 7, 10, 11, 19, 24\right\} \\B= \left\{5, 8, 15, 17, 19, 28\right\} \\C= \left\{1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 14\right\}

Find the cardinality of \displaystyle A\cap B.

 

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 0

\displaystyle 2

\displaystyle 0

\displaystyle 1

\displaystyle 13

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 1

Explanation:

The question is asking us to find the number of elements in the intersection of A and B .

We simply find the common elements of the two sets, and count the number of elements.

\displaystyle A\cap B = \left\{19\right\}
Now we simply count the number of elements in this set.

\displaystyle 1

 

 

Example Question #3 : Intro To Proofs

If

Find the cardinality of \displaystyle A\cup A.

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 13

\displaystyle 0

\displaystyle 5

\displaystyle 6

\displaystyle 7

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 6

Explanation:

The question is asking us to find the number of elements in the union of A and A .

We simply combine the two sets together, and count the number of elements. If there are any elements that are the same, we keep one of them, and not both.

\displaystyle A\cup A = \left\{3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 16\right\}

Now we simply count the number of elements in this set.

\displaystyle 6

Example Question #4 : Intro To Proofs

If

Find the cardinality of \displaystyle B\cap B.

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 10

\displaystyle 5

\displaystyle 6

\displaystyle 0

\displaystyle 4

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 5

Explanation:

The question is asking us to find the number of elements in the intersection of B and B .

We simply find the common elements of the two sets, and count the number of elements.

\displaystyle B\cap B = \left\{5, 10, 11, 18, 21\right\}

Now we simply count the number of elements in this set.

\displaystyle 5

Example Question #5 : Intro To Proofs

If

Find the cardinality of \displaystyle A\cap B.

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 2

\displaystyle 14

\displaystyle 1

\displaystyle 0

\displaystyle 0

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 1

Explanation:

The question is asking us to find the number of elements in the intersection of A and B .

We simply find the common elements of the two sets, and count the number of elements.

\displaystyle A\cap B = \left\{10\right\}

Now we simply count the number of elements in this set.

\displaystyle 1

Example Question #6 : Intro To Proofs

If

\displaystyle \\A= \left\{11, 12, 13, 14, 18\right\} \\B= \left\{1, 10, 11, 14, 16\right\} \\C= \left\{3, 6, 8, 10, 17\right\}

Find the cardinality of \displaystyle B\cup A.

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 0

\displaystyle 8

\displaystyle 12

\displaystyle 9

\displaystyle 7

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 8

Explanation:

The question is asking us to find the number of elements in the union of B and A .

We simply combine the two sets together, and count the number of elements. If there are any elements that are the same, we keep one of them, and not both.

\displaystyle B\cup A = \left\{1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18\right\}

Now we simply count the number of elements in this set.

\displaystyle 8

Example Question #7 : Intro To Proofs

If

\displaystyle \\A= \left\{9, 10, 16, 17, 19\right\} \\B= \left\{3, 6, 8, 18\right\} \\C= \left\{1, 7, 8, 10\right\}
