MHB Prove: 2ε{a,2,b} in Set Theory

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on proving that 2 is an element of the set {a, 2, b} within axiomatic set theory. Participants seek clarity on the definitions of the set notation "{a, 2, b}" and the membership symbol "ε." The set is defined as the union of {a, 2} and {b}, which can be expressed as {a, 2} ∪ {b}. A reference to a similar problem and its solution is mentioned, but external links are discouraged. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding set definitions and notation in axiomatic set theory.

Prove in any axiomatic set theory that:2ε{a,2,b} , where a,b are letters

What is the definition of "{a, 2, b}" in "axiomatic set theory"? What is the definition of "ε"?

{a,2,b}={a,2}U{b}

{a,2,b}={a,2}U{b}
Or even better, starting from where you left off: [math]\{ a, 2 \} \cup \{ b \} = \left ( \{ a \} \cup \{ 2 \} \right ) \cup \{ b \}[/math]
