Exercise · ZW-ZERMELO-FRAENKEL-AXIOMS-002 · ★☆☆ Basic
What is the name of the axiom that guarantees the existence of \( \{a,b\} \) for any \( a \) and \( b \)?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- D. Axiom of pairing
Explanation
The pairing axiom ensures that the set with exactly those two elements exists.
Review the concept: Zermelo–Fraenkel axioms
The Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms (ZF) are the standard axiom system of set theory, formulated in first-order logic. They allow the usual mathematics to be built from the primitive notions of set and membership (\( \in \)).
\[\forall x\,\forall y\,(\forall z\,(z\in x \leftrightarrow z\in y)\rightarrow x=y)\]
