why empty set is the subset of every set真真
To show
that the empty set is a subset of every set.there are probably many ways of convincing yourself (or someone else). this is the case. 1. The set A is a subset of the set B if and only if every element of A is also an element of B. If A is the empty set then A has no elements and so all of its elements (there are none) belong to B no matter what set B we are dealing with. That is, the empty set is a subset of every set. 2. Another way of understanding it is to look at intersections. The intersection of two sets is a subset of each of the original sets. So if {} is the empty set and A is any set then {} intersect A is {} which means {} is a subset of A and {} is a subset of {}. 3. You can prove it by contradiction. Let's say that you have the empty set {} and a set A. Based on the definition, {} is a subset of A unless there is some element in {} that is not in A. So if {} is not a subset of A then there is an element in {}. But {} has no elements and hence this is a contradiction, so the set {} must be a subset of A. An example with an empty set and a non- empty set might be this: the (set of all women who have walked on the moon) and the (set of all astronauts). Examine the three arguments above with this example in mind. Source:::: internet |
