Define equivalent sets with an example

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &A = \{1, 2, 3\} \\ &B = \{a, b, c\} \\ &n(A) = n(B) = 3 \end{aligned}$$

\]

Define equal sets with an example

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &C = \{1, 2, 3\} \\ &D = \{3, 2, 1\} \\ &C = D \end{aligned}$$

\]

Distinguish equivalent sets from equal sets

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &\text{Equivalent sets: same number of elements (cardinality), } n(A) = n(B). \\ &\text{Equal sets: exact same elements, } A = B. \end{aligned}$$

<answer>
Example of Equivalent Sets:
Let Set \(A = \{1, 2, 3\}\) and Set \(B = \{\text{red}, \text{blue}, \text{green}\}\).
These sets are equivalent because they contain the exact same number of elements (their cardinality is equal, \(n(A) = n(B) = 3\)), allowing a one-to-one correspondence between them.

Difference between Equivalent and Equal Sets:

• Equivalent sets only require having the same number of elements (same cardinality), regardless of what those elements actually are.
• Equal sets must contain the exact same elements, regardless of their order (for example, \(\{1, 2, 3\}\) and \(\{3, 2, 1\}\)). Equal sets are always equivalent, but equivalent sets are not necessarily equal.
