Problems on sets: counting elements and comparing sets. Specifically, find n(N) for N = 11, 12, 13, 14, n(S) for S = 1, 4, 9, ..., 49, and determine if A = e, f, g, h equals B = g, f, h, e, and if X =

Here are the solutions to the set theory problems.

2. Let's say and write the correct answers in the blank spaces.

a)

  1. Identify the elements in set NN.

    N={11,12,13,14}N = \{11, 12, 13, 14\}

  2. Count the number of elements in NN.

    There are 4 elements in set NN.

    n(N)=4n(N) = \boxed{\text{4}}

    b)

  3. Identify the elements in set SS.

    The set S={1,4,9,…,49}S = \{1, 4, 9, \dots, 49\} consists of perfect squares.
    The elements are 12=11^2=1, 22=42^2=4, 32=93^2=9, 42=164^2=16, 52=255^2=25, 62=366^2=36, 72=497^2=49.
    So, S={1,4,9,16,25,36,49}S = \{1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49\}.

  4. Count the number of elements in SS.

    There are 7 elements in set SS.

    n(S)=7n(S) = \boxed{\text{7}}

    3. Let's say and write whether the following sets are equal or not.

    a)

  5. Compare the elements of set A={e,f,g,h}A = \{e, f, g, h\} and set B={g,f,h,e}B = \{g, f, h, e\}.

    Both sets contain exactly the same elements: $e, f, g, h$. The order of elements does not matter in a set.

  6. Determine if the sets are equal.

    Since all elements are identical, sets A and B are equal.
    A and B are equal\boxed{\text{equal}}

    b)

  7. Compare the elements of set X={3,6,9,12}X = \{3, 6, 9, 12\} and set Y={1,3,5,7}Y = \{1, 3, 5, 7\}.

    Set X contains elements $3, 6, 9, 12$. Set Y contains elements $1, 3, 5, 7$.

  8. Determine if the sets are equal.

    The sets do not contain exactly the same elements (e.g., 6, 9, 12 are in X but not Y; 1, 5, 7 are in Y but not X).
    X and Y are not equal\boxed{\text{not equal}}

    4. Let's say and write whether the following sets are overlapping or disjoint.

    a)

  9. Identify the elements in set P={1,3,5,7,9}P = \{1, 3, 5, 7, 9\} and set Q={2,4,6,8}Q = \{2, 4, 6, 8\}.

  10. Check for common elements between P and Q.

    There are no elements that are present in both set P and set Q.

  11. Determine if the sets are overlapping or disjoint.

    Since they have no common elements, P and Q are disjoint.
    P and Q are disjoint\boxed{\text{disjoint}}

    b)

  12. Identify the elements in set A={5,10,15,20}A = \{5, 10, 15, 20\} and set B={4,8,12,16,20}B = \{4, 8, 12, 16, 20\}.

  13. Check for common elements between A and B.

    The element 20 is present in both set A and set B.

  14. Determine if the sets are overlapping or disjoint.

    Since they have at least one common element (20), A and B are overlapping.
    A and B are overlapping\boxed{\text{overlapping}}
