Nested Set Brackets 70Cbe6
1. The problem asks: What are the 3 brackets for in the set $B = \{\{\{1, 4, 5, 3, 1\}\}\}$?
2. Each pair of brackets represents a level of set containment.
3. The innermost brackets $\{1, 4, 5, 3, 1\}$ define a set containing the elements 1, 4, 5, 3, and 1 (duplicates ignored, so effectively $\{1, 3, 4, 5\}$).
4. The next pair of brackets $\{\{1, 4, 5, 3, 1\}\}$ means a set whose only element is the inner set $\{1, 3, 4, 5\}$.
5. The outermost brackets $\{\{\{1, 4, 5, 3, 1\}\}\}$ mean a set whose only element is the set $\{\{1, 3, 4, 5\}\}$.
6. So, the three brackets indicate three levels: a set containing a set containing a set of numbers.
7. This is important in set theory to distinguish between elements and subsets.
Hence, the 3 brackets show nested sets, each bracket pair representing one level of containment.
