The cardinality (cardinal number) of a finite set is:

The largest element in the set

The number of elements in the set

The sum of all elements in the set

The number of subsets the set has

Definition of Equivalent Sets

1 pts

volume_mute

Two sets \(A\) and \(B\) are said to be equivalent (written \(A \sim B\)) if:

A and B contain exactly the same elements

A is a subset of B

A one-to-one onto correspondence can be established between A and B

A and B are both finite sets with the same sum of elements

Explanation

N is Equivalent to M = {1/n | n ∈ N}

1 pts

volume_mute

The table below pairs each natural number \(n\) with the fraction \(1/n\).

Participation Type	Description	Minimum Cardinality
Total Participation	Every entity in the set must be involved in at least one relationship.	1
Partial Participation	Entities in the set may or may not be involved in a relationship.	0

What can be concluded from this pairing?

N has more elements than M since N contains all positive integers

M has more elements than N since fractions are denser

N and M are equivalent sets — they have the same cardinality

N and M are equal sets — they contain the same elements

N is Equivalent to the Set of Even Natural Numbers

1 pts

volume_mute

The table shows a correspondence between all natural numbers and all even natural numbers.

Term	Definition	Example
Cardinality	The total number of rows (tuples) in the relation.	500
Degree	The total number of columns (attributes) in the relation.	50

The function used is \(f(x) = 2x\). What does this demonstrate?

There are twice as many natural numbers as even numbers

The even numbers form an equivalent set to all natural numbers — they have the same cardinality

The natural numbers are uncountable

Even numbers are a proper subset, so they must have fewer elements than N

Formal Definition of a Finite Set

1 pts

volume_mute

A set \(S\) is called finite and said to contain \(n\) elements if:

\(S\) contains only prime numbers

\(S \sim \{1, 2, 3, \ldots, n\}\) for some \(n \in \mathbb{N}\)

\(S\) has a largest element

\(S\) is a subset of the real numbers

Definition of an Infinite Set

The simplest (first) definition of an infinite set is:

A set with more than 1000 elements

A set that is not finite — counting its elements never ends

A set that contains all real numbers

A set where elements cannot be listed

Is ℕ ~ ℤ? (Naturals Equivalent to Integers)

1 pts

volume_mute

Are the natural numbers \(\mathbb{N} = \{1,2,3,4,\ldots\}\) and the integers \(\mathbb{Z} = \{\ldots,-2,-1,0,1,2,\ldots\}\) equivalent sets?

No — Z has more elements since it includes 0 and negative numbers

Yes — a bijection f: Z → N exists, so they have the same cardinality ℵ₀

No — N is countable but Z is uncountable

Yes — but only because both are subsets of ℝ
