Q

in mathematics is a collection of well defined and distinct objects, considered as an object in its own right. _______ are one of the most fundamental concepts in mathematics

21
Q

a well-defined collection of distinct objects.

22
Q

(true or false)

The objects of a set are separated by commas.

23
Q

true or false

• The objects that belong in a set are the elements, or members of
the set.

Q

t or f

• It can be represented by listing its element between braces. • A set is said to be well - defined if the elements in a set are
specifically listed.
