Write a statement that represents the relationship between the following.
A = {5, 6, 7} and B = {x| 5 ≤ x ≤ 7, x ∈ N}
Group of answer choices
(1) A ⊆ B
(2) A ⊂ B
(3) B ⊂ A
(4) A ⊈ B
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The set B can be equivalently presented as B = {5, 6, 7}.


So, the set B is the same as A.  We can write  B = A,  or  A = B.


In particular, it includes relationship (1),  so (1) is correct.


Relationship (2) is not correct, since A is not a proper subset of B.

Relationship (3) is not correct, since B is not a proper subset of A.

Relationship (4) is not correct, obviously.


So, from the listed choices, only (1) is valid.


The other choices are not valid.

Solved, answered and explained.

Keep in mind that although (1) is valid, there is more strong relationship between A and B, namely A = B,

which is not listed in the option list.
