(7) An Interesting Fact is that there are different sizes of infinity. For example, if A is an infinite set, then P(A) is even bigger. Mathematicians argued about this for a long time before agreeing it is true. How hard or easy is it for you to believe that there are different sizes of infinity?

The Mandelbrot Set A fractal is a geometric figure that consists of a pattern that is repeated infinitely on a smaller and smaller scale. The most famous fractal is the Mandelbrot Set, named after the Polish-born mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot (19242010). To draw the Mandelbrot Set, consider the sequence of numbers below. c,c2+c,(c2+c)2+c,[ (c2+c)2+c ]2+c,... The behavior of this sequence depends on the value of the complex number c. If the sequence is bounded (the absolute value of each number in the sequence, a+bi=a2+b2 is less than some fixed number N ), then the complex number c is in the Mandelbrot Set, and if the sequence is unbounded (the absolute value of the terms of the sequence become infinitely large), then the complex number c is not in the Mandelbrot Set. Determine whether the complex number c is in the Mandelbrot Set. (a)c=i (b)c=1+i (c)c=2 The figure below shows a graph of the Mandelbrot Set, where the horizontal and vertical axes represent the real and imaginary parts of c, respectively.
True or False? In counting combinations, order matters. In counting permutations, order matters. For a set of n distinct object, the number of different combinations of these object is more than the number of different permutations. If we have a set with five distinct objects, then the number of different ways of choosing two members of this set is the same as the number of ways of choosing three members.
To prove a theorem of the form "If P, then Q" by the indirect method, the first line of the proof should read: Suppose that ___________ is true.
I need help with this problem and an explanation for the solution described below (Discrete mathematics) - Venn Diagrams to prove equalities and inclusions of sets, and counting:
This we have not learn in class this is advance for me... but we can use this to solve if the measurable set itself is bounded, and we can usually write unbounded sets as the countable union of bounded sets
If X and Y are any sets, which of the following exactly expresses what it means for X ⊆ Y to be false? If X and Y are any sets, which of the following exactly expresses what it means for X ⊆ Y to be false?
Question 16 Rk.Explain the diagonal-proof methodQuestion 1. Name and explain the proof method that is used to show uncountability of sets, incompleteness of logics, and undecidability of problems.

Give a real-world example of the inclusion/exclusion principle that involves at least two finite sets. Specify values for three of the following four values: the size of the first set, the set of the second set, the size of the union and the size of the intersection. Apply the inclusion/exclusion principle to determine that value of the one value that you did not specify.

May sound like an obvious question but how does the set contain 0 when n is greater than 1?
For this Big Problem, we’re getting really really big: infinity! Sets that are infinitely bigdo interesting things. Here we’re going to experiment with some of them.(1) Give an example of a universal set U and a set A so that U is infinite and A is infiniteand A^c (complement of A)is also infinite. (2) Give an example of a universal set U and a set A so that U is infinite and A is infiniteand A^c (complement of A)is not infinite. (3) Give an example of a set A and a set B so that A is infinite and B is infinite andA ∩ B is also infinite. (4) Give an example of a set A and a set B so that A is infinite and B is infinite andA ∩ B is not infinite. (5) If A is infinite and B is infinite, can you find an example where A ∪ B is not infinite?Why or why not? (6) If A is infinite and B is infinite, can you find an example where A−B is not infinite?Why or why not? (7) An Interesting Fact is that there are different sizes of infinity. For example, if A is aninfinite set, then P(A) is even bigger.…
