Original question and givens

Finite integer sets A=[-17, 0] and B=[0, 17]; repeated elements count once. Give (does A⊆B?, does A⊊B?, A\B, B\A), with both witness sets increasing.

  • G001 — Finite integer sets A=[-17, 0] and B=[0, 17]; repeated elements count once. Give (does A⊆B?, does A⊊B?, A\B, B\A), with both witness sets increasing.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

A=[-17, 0];B=[0, 17];same integer type

After

A⊆B means every A-element belongs to B

Conditions: none

An inclusion obstruction must belong to A but not B;an element outside A is no witness,and empty A gives no obstruction.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: set_inclusion_definition · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

A\B:source element=-17;target=[0, 17]

After

obstruction=Yes

Conditions: none

Audit every source-set element;list it as an obstruction exactly when the target omits it.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: inclusion_obstruction_row · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

A\B:source element=0;target=[0, 17]

After

obstruction=No

Conditions: none

Audit every source-set element;list it as an obstruction exactly when the target omits it.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: inclusion_obstruction_row · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

B\A:source element=0;target=[-17, 0]

After

obstruction=No

Conditions: none

Audit every source-set element;list it as an obstruction exactly when the target omits it.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: inclusion_obstruction_row · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · implies

Before

B\A:source element=17;target=[-17, 0]

After

obstruction=Yes

Conditions: none

Audit every source-set element;list it as an obstruction exactly when the target omits it.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: inclusion_obstruction_row · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · implies

Before

A\B=[-17];B\A=[17]

After

non-strict=No;strict=No

Conditions: none

Strict inclusion requires A⊆B plus a B-element outside A;equal sets satisfy only non-strict inclusion.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: strict_subset_extra_witness · Uses: G001, S005

Reverse checks

  • S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

(No, No, [-17], [17])

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
