Decide, among the following sets, which sets are subsets of one and another:
A = {x: x \(\in\) R and x satisfy \( x^2 - 8x + 12 = 0\)},
B = {2, 4, 6}, C = {2, 4, 6, 8…}, D = {6}.
A = {x: x \(\in\) R and x satisfy \( x^2 - 8x + 12 = 0\)},
B = {2, 4, 6}, C = {2, 4, 6, 8…}, D = {6}.
Solution and Explanation
A = {x: x R and x satisfies \(x^2- 8x + 12 = 0\)}
2 and 6 are the only solutions of \(x^2- 8x + 12 = 0.\)
∴ A = {2, 6}
B = {2, 4, 6}, C = {2, 4, 6, 8 …}, D = {6}
\(∴ D ⊂ A ⊂ B ⊂ C\)
Hence, \(A ⊂ B, A ⊂ C, B ⊂ C, D ⊂ A, D ⊂ B, D ⊂ C\)

Define an equivalence relation \( \sim \) on the sphere \[ S = \left\{ (x_1, x_2, x_3) \in \mathbb{R}^3 : x_1^2 + x_2^2 + x_3^2 = 1 \right\} \] by \( (x_1, x_2, x_3) \sim (y_1, y_2, y_3) \) if \( x_3 = y_3 \), for \( (x_1, x_2, x_3), (y_1, y_2, y_3) \in S \). Let \( [x_1, x_2, x_3] \) denote the equivalence class of \( (x_1, x_2, x_3) \), and let \( X \) denote the set of all such equivalence classes. Let \( L : S \to X \) be given by \[ L\left( (x_1, x_2, x_3) \right) = [x_1, x_2, x_3]. \] If \( X \) is provided with the quotient topology induced by the map \( L \), then which one of the following is TRUE?

P2: \( \exists r_1, r_2 \in R \) such that \( r_1^2 = r_1 \neq 0 \), \( r_2^2 = 0 \), and \( r_1 + r_2 = 1 \).
P3: \( R \) has ideals \( I_1, I_2 \subset R \) with \( R \neq I_1 \), \( (0) \neq I_2 \), and \( R = I_1 + I_2 \) and \( I_1 \cap I_2 = (0) \).

Operations on Sets
Some important operations on sets include union, intersection, difference, and the complement of a set, a brief explanation of operations on sets is as follows:
1. Union of Sets:
- The union of sets lists the elements in set A and set B or the elements in both set A and set B.
- For example, {3,4} ∪ {1, 4} = {1, 3, 4}
- It is denoted as “A U B”
2. Intersection of Sets:
- Intersection of sets lists the common elements in set A and B.
- For example, {3,4} ∪ {1, 4} = {4}
- It is denoted as “A ∩ B”
3.Set Difference:
- Set difference is the list of elements in set A which is not present in set B
- For example, {3,4} - {1, 4} = {3}
- It is denoted as “A - B”
4.Set Complement:
- The set complement is the list of all elements present in the Universal set except the elements present in set A
- It is denoted as “U-A”
