In summary, ⊆ and ⊄ are symbols used in mathematics to show the relationship between two sets. ⊆ represents the subset symbol, indicating that one set is a subset of another, while ⊄ represents the not subset symbol, showing that one set is not a subset of another. These symbols can also be used to express proper subsets, with the symbols ⊂ and ⊊ having the same meaning as ⊆ and ⊄, respectively. The use of these symbols helps to make mathematical expressions more concise and precise. Other related symbols include ⊇, representing the superset symbol, and ⊅, representing the not superset symbol.

Hi KOO! :)

The first 2 are correct.

Edit: see Evgeny.Makarov's post for the 3rd.

As for the 4th, can I assume you intended $\mathbb N \times \mathbb Z \underline{\qquad} \mathbb Z \times \mathbb N$?
If so then the left hand side has elements like (1,1) and (1,-1), while the right hand side has elements like (-1,1) and (1,1)...

I assume the first two questions are about intervals on the real line. Then I agree.

{∅} _____ P(∅)
Note that P(∅) = {∅}.

Good point.
Slipped on that one.
 

FAQ: Write ⊆ or ⊄ in the space provided.

What is the difference between ⊆ and ⊄?

⊆ represents the subset symbol, which means that the set on the left is a subset of the set on the right. ⊄, on the other hand, represents the not subset symbol, indicating that the set on the left is not a subset of the set on the right.

How do I use the symbols ⊆ and ⊄ in mathematical expressions?

These symbols can be used in mathematical expressions to show the relationship between two sets. For example, if we have set A = {1, 2, 3} and set B = {1, 2, 3, 4}, we can write A ⊆ B to indicate that all elements of set A are also elements of set B. Similarly, we can write A ⊄ B to show that set A is not a subset of set B.

Can I use other symbols to represent subsets?

Yes, there are other symbols that can be used to represent subsets, such as ⊂ and ⊊. These symbols have the same meaning as ⊆ and ⊄, but they are used to show proper subsets, where the sets are not equal.

What is the importance of using these symbols in mathematics?

The use of symbols such as ⊆ and ⊄ helps to make mathematical expressions more concise and easier to understand. It also allows for a more precise representation of the relationship between sets.

Are there any other related symbols to ⊆ and ⊄?

Yes, there are other symbols that are related to ⊆ and ⊄, such as ⊇ and ⊅. These symbols have the opposite meanings, where ⊇ represents the superset symbol and ⊅ represents the not superset symbol.
