Question

Explain why the two sets are equivalent.

A={The letters in the word SEAT}
B={The letters in the word TASTE}

A. The two sets are not equivalent because set A has 4 letters and set B has 5.
B. Both sets contain the same elements.
C. Both sets contain objects.
D. Both sets contain letters.

Answer 1

B. Both sets contain the same elements.

Explanation:

Given:

A={The letters in the word SEAT}

B={The letters in the word TASTE}

Writing the sets in elements form

A = {S,E,A,T}

B={A,S,T,E} => the letter T appears two times but the repeating elements are written only once.

Hence, both sets contain the same letters.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

B. Both sets contain the same elements ..
