Question

If A is any set, prove that: \[A \subseteq \phi \Leftrightarrow A = \phi .\] 

Advertisements

Solution

To prove: \[A \subseteq \phi \Leftrightarrow A = \phi\]

Proof:
Let: \[A \subseteq \phi\] 

If A is a subset of an empty set, then A is the empty set.
∴\[A \subseteq \phi\]

Now, let 

\[A = \phi\]

This means that is an empty set.
We know that every set is a subset of itself.

\[A = \phi\]   

Thus, we have \[A \subseteq \phi \Leftrightarrow A = \phi\]
