5.1. Sets <strong>and</strong> Operations on Sets 229<br />

(a) Is.a; b/ a proper subset of .a; b? Explain.<br />

(b) IsŒa; b a subset of .a; C1/? Explain.<br />

(c) Use interval notation to describe<br />

i. the intersection of the interval Π3; 7 with the interval .5; 9;<br />

ii. the union of the interval Π3; 7 with the interval .5; 9;<br />

iii. the set difference Π3; 7 .5; 9.<br />

(d) Write the set fx 2 R jjxj 0:01g using interval notation.<br />

(e) Write the set fx 2 R jjxj >2g as the union of two intervals.<br />

16. More Work with Intervals. For this exercise, use the interval notation described<br />

in Exercise 15.<br />

(a) Determine the intersection <strong>and</strong> union of Œ2; 5 <strong>and</strong> Œ 1; C1/.<br />

(b) Determine the intersection <strong>and</strong> union of Œ2; 5 <strong>and</strong> Œ3:4; C1/.<br />

(c) Determine the intersection <strong>and</strong> union of Œ2; 5 <strong>and</strong> Œ7; C1/.<br />

Now let a, b, <strong>and</strong>c be real numbers with a
