Exercise · ZW-ZERMELO-FRAENKEL-AXIOMS-006 · ★★☆ Intermediate

What is the union of the family \( \{\{1\},\{1,2\},\{2,3\}\} \)?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • D. \( \{1,2,3\} \)

Explanation

The union gathers all elements of the sets in the family, which are 1, 2 and 3. Confusing it with the intersection gives a different set.

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 (\( \in \)).

\[\forall x\,\forall y\,(\forall z\,(z\in x \leftrightarrow z\in y)\rightarrow x=y)\]
