An empty set is not a proper subset of an empty set.An empty set is not a proper subset of an empty set.An empty set is not a proper subset of an empty set.An empty set is not a proper subset of an empty set.
yes, if the set being described is empty, we can talk about proper and improper subsets. there are no proper subsets of the empty set. the only subset of the empty set is the empty set itself. to be a proper subset, the subset must be strictly contained. so the empty set is an improper subset of itself, but it is a proper subset of every other set.
It isn't. The empty set is a subset - but not a proper subset - of the empty set.
Yes,an empty set is the subset of every set. The subset of an empty set is only an empty set itself.
NO
The empty element is a subset of any set--the empty set is even a subset of itself. But it is not an element of every set; in particular, the empty set cannot be an element of itself because the empty set has no elements.
The only subset of an empty set is the empty set itself.
Any set has the empty set as subset A is a subset of B if each element of A is an element of B For the empty set ∅ the vacuum property holds For every element of ∅ whatever property holds, also being element of an arbitrary set B, therefore ∅ is a subset of any set, even itself ∅ has an unique subset: itself
Every set contains the empty set. Every set is a subset of itself.
Yes, the empty set is a subset of any set. Recall the definition: A is a subset of B if every element in A is also in B. But A is empty so one can assign any property (including "membership in B") to its elements and the property will hold. Statement "every seven-legged alligator is orange" is true for the same reason.
Yes.
Recall that Improper subset of A is the set that contains all and only elements of A. Namely A. So does the empty set have all of A provided A is not empty? Of course not! The empty set can be only considered an improper subset of itself.
