Prove in any axiomatic set theory that:2ε{a,2,b} , where a,b are letters
The discussion centers on proving the statement 2ε{a,2,b} within the framework of axiomatic set theory. Participants clarify the definitions of the set {a, 2, b} as the union of {a, 2} and {b}, and the membership relation ε. The solution involves demonstrating that 2 is an element of the set {a, 2, b}, which can be expressed as {a, 2} ∪ {b}. The conversation references a similar problem solved by a user named seppel in MHF, emphasizing the importance of adhering to guidelines that discourage linking to external solutions.
PREREQUISITESMathematicians, students of set theory, and anyone interested in formal proofs and axiomatic frameworks will benefit from this discussion.
Country Boy said:What is the definition of "{a, 2, b}" in "axiomatic set theory"? What is the definition of "ε"?
Or even better, starting from where you left off: [math]\{ a, 2 \} \cup \{ b \} = \left ( \{ a \} \cup \{ 2 \} \right ) \cup \{ b \}[/math]solakis said:{a,2,b}={a,2}U{b}
