Problem 1125

Determine if the statement is true or false.

9 Є {1, 6, 7, 9, 16}

 

Solution:-

 

To decide whether the statement is true or false, review the meaning of the symbol Є.

The symbol Є denotes an element of a set.

Thus, the number to the left of the symbol must be an element of the set to the right of the symbol for the given statement to be true.

For example, the statement below shown that 5 is an element of the set {5, 6, 7}.

5 Є {5, 6, 7}

Therefore, the given statement, 9 Є {1, 6, 7, 9, 16}, is true because 9 is an element of the set {1, 6, 7, 9, 16}.
