Question:
Which of the following are pairs of equal sets?
$G=\{-1,1\}$ and $H=\left\{x: x \in Z, x^{2}-1=0\right\}$
Solution:
Equal Sets = Two sets A and B are said to be equal if they have exactly the
same elements & we write A = B
We have,
$G=\{-1,1\}$
and $H=\left\{x: x \in Z, x^{2}-1=0\right\}$
Here, $x \in Z$ and $x^{2}-1=0$
The given equation can be solved as:
$x^{2}-1=0$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{x}^{2}=1$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=\sqrt{1}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=\pm 1$
$\therefore \mathrm{x}=-1$ and 1
$\therefore \mathrm{H}=\{-1,1\}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{G}=\mathrm{H}$ because elements of both the sets are equal.
