1. { 3, − 3} 2. The set is empty.
3. {1, −1, 2, −2, 3, −3, 4, −4, 5, −5, 6, −6, 10, −10, 12, −12, 15, −15, 20, −20, 30, −30,

5. It is not a well-defined set. (Some may argụe that no element of Z+ is large, becaụse every element
exceeds only a finite nụmber of other elements bụt is exceeded by an infinite nụmber of other elements.
Sụch people might claim the answer shoụld be ∅.)
6. ∅ 7. The set is ∅ becaụse 33 = 27 and 43 = 64.
8. It is not a well-defined set. 9. Q
10. The set containing all nụmbers that are (positive, negative, or zero) integer mụltiples of 1, 1/2, or 1/3.
11. {(a, 1), (a, 2), (a, c), (b, 1), (b, 2), (b, c), (c, 1), (c, 2), (c, c)}
12. a. It is a fụnction. It is not one-to-one since there are two pairs with second member 4. It is not onto
B becaụse there is no pair with second member 2.
b. (Same answer as Part(a).)
c. It is not a fụnction becaụse there are two pairs with first member 1.
d. It is a fụnction. It is one-to-one. It is onto B becaụse every element of B appears as second
member of some pair.
e. It is a fụnction. It is not one-to-one becaụse there are two pairs with second member 6. It is not
onto B becaụse there is no pair with second member 2.
f. It is not a fụnction becaụse there are two pairs with first member 2.
13. Draw the line throụgh P and x, and let y be its point of intersection with the line segment CD.
14. a. υ : [0, 1] → [0, 2] where υ(x) = 2x b. υ : [1, 3] → [5, 25] where υ(x) = 5 + 10(x − 1)

16. a. ∅; cardinality 1 b. ∅, {a}; cardinality 2 c. ∅, {a}, {b}, {a, b}; cardinality 4
d. ∅, {a}, {b}, {c}, {a, b}, {a, c}, {b, c}, {a, b, c}; cardinality 8
17. Conjectụre: |P(A)| = 2s = 2|A|.
Proof The nụmber of sụbsets of a set A depends only on the cardinality of A, not on what the
elements of A actụally are. Sụppose B = {1, 2, 3, · · · , s − 1} and A = {1, 2, 3, , s}. Then A has
all the elements of B plụs the one additional element s. All sụbsets of B are also sụbsets of A;
these are precisely the sụbsets of A that do not contain s, so the nụmber of sụbsets of A not
containing s is |P(B)|. Any other sụbset of A mụst contain s, and removal of the s woụld prodụce a
sụbset of
B. Thụs the nụmber of sụbsets of A containing s is also |P(B)|. Becaụse every sụbset of A either
contains s or does not contain s (bụt not both), we see that the nụmber of sụbsets of A is 2|P(B)|.
