Which axiom allows defining an image set by applying a formula to a given set?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • B. Axiom of replacement

Explanation

Replacement ensures the image of a set under a definable operation is still a set. The pairing axiom only forms sets with two elements.

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 (\( \in \)).

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