Exercise · ZW-SET-002 · ★☆☆ Basic
If x ∈ A, what does it mean?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- D. x is an element of A
Explanation
The symbol ∈ reads "belongs to". x ∈ A says that x is an element of A. It is a relation between an element and a set, so the options where A is an element of x or x contains A reverse the roles.
Review the concept: Set
A set is a well-defined collection of objects, called elements. Whether an object belongs to the set must be decidable without ambiguity.
\[x \in A \lor x \notin A\]
