\subsection{\partial{Exercise 1}}%
\label{sub:baby-set-theory-1}
Which of the following become true when "$\in$" is inserted in place of the
blank?
Which become true when "$\subseteq$" is inserted?
\subsubsection{\partial{Exercise 1a}}%
\label{ssub:baby-set-theory-1a}
$\{\emptyset\} \_\_\_\_ \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}$.
\begin{proof}
Because the \textit{object} $\{\emptyset\}$ is a member of the right-hand set,
the statement is \textbf{true} in the case of "$\in$".
Because the \textit{members} of $\{\emptyset\}$ are all members of the
right-hand set, the statement is also \textbf{true} in the case of
"$\subseteq$".
\end{proof}
\subsubsection{\partial{Exercise 1b}}%
\label{ssub:baby-set-theory-1b}
$\{\emptyset\} \_\_\_\_ \{\emptyset, \{\{\emptyset\}\}\}$.
\begin{proof}
Because the \textit{object} $\{\emptyset\}$ is not a member of the right-hand
set, the statement is \textbf{false} in the case of "$\in$".
Because the \textit{members} of $\{\emptyset\}$ are all members of the
right-hand set, the statement is \textbf{true} in the case of "$\subseteq$".
\end{proof}
\subsubsection{\partial{Exercise 1c}}%
\label{ssub:baby-set-theory-1c}
$\{\{\emptyset\}\} \_\_\_\_ \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}$.
\begin{proof}
Because the \textit{object} $\{\{\emptyset\}\}$ is not a member of the
right-hand set, the statement is \textbf{false} in the case of "$\in$".
Because the \textit{members} of $\{\{\emptyset\}\}$ are all members of the
right-hand set, the statement is \textbf{true} in the case of "$\subseteq$".
\end{proof}
\subsubsection{\partial{Exercise 1d}}%
\label{ssub:baby-set-theory-1d}
$\{\{\emptyset\}\} \_\_\_\_ \{\emptyset, \{\{\emptyset\}\}\}$.
\begin{proof}
Because the \textit{object} $\{\{\emptyset\}\}$ is a member of the right-hand
set, the statement is \textbf{true} in the case of "$\in$".
Because the \textit{members} of $\{\{\emptyset\}\}$ are not all members of the
right-hand set, the statement is \textbf{false} in the case of
"$\subseteq$".
\end{proof}
\subsubsection{\partial{Exercise 1e}}%
\label{ssub:baby-set-theory-1e}
$\{\{\emptyset\}\} \_\_ \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}\}$.
\begin{proof}
Because the \textit{object} $\{\{\emptyset\}\}$ is not a member of the
right-hand set, the statement is \textbf{false} in the case of "$\in$".
Because the \textit{members} of $\{\{\emptyset\}\}$ are not all members of the
right-hand set, the statement is \textbf{false} in the case of
"$\subseteq$".
\end{proof}
\subsection{\partial{Exercise 2}}%
\label{sub:baby-set-theory-2}
Show that no two of the three sets $\emptyset$, $\{\emptyset\}$, and
$\{\{\emptyset\}\}$ are equal to each other.
\begin{proof}
By the \nameref{ref:principle-extensionality}, $\emptyset$ is only equal to
$\emptyset$.
This immediately shows it is not equal to the other two.
Now consider object $\emptyset$.
This object is a member of $\{\emptyset\}$ but is not a member of
$\{\{\emptyset\}\}$.
Again, by the \nameref{ref:principle-extensionality}, these two sets must be
different.
\end{proof}
\subsection{\partial{Exercise 3}}%
\label{sub:baby-set-theory-3}
Show that if $B \subseteq C$, then $\mathscr{P} B \subseteq \mathscr{P} C$.
\begin{proof}
Let $x \in \mathscr{P} B$.
By definition of the \nameref{ref:powerset}, $x$ is a subset of $B$.
By hypothesis, $B \subseteq C$.
Then $x \subseteq C$.
Again by definition of the \nameref{ref:powerset}, it follows
$x \in \mathscr{P} C$.
\end{proof}
\subsection{\partial{Exercise 4}}%
\label{sub:baby-set-theory-4}
Assume that $x$ and $y$ are members of a set $B$.
Show that $\{\{x\}, \{x, y\}\} \in \mathscr{P}\mathscr{P} B.$
\begin{proof}
Let $x$ and $y$ be members of set $B$.
Then $\{x\}$ and $\{x, y\}$ are subsets of $B$.
By definition of the \nameref{ref:powerset}, $\{x\}$ and $\{x, y\}$ are
members of $\mathscr{P} B$.
Then $\{\{x\}, \{x, y\}\}$ is a subset of $\mathscr{P} B$.
By definition of the \nameref{ref:powerset}, $\{\{x\}, \{x, y\}\}$ is a member
of $\mathscr{P}\mathscr{P} B$.
\end{proof}
