1.1.Let XUY=X for all sets X. Prove that Y=0(empty set).
From Singler book "Excercises in set theory".
I think this task is totaly wrong and cannot be proved. I would ask someone to provide me valid proof of that. I have sets X and Y such as Y is subset of X. For example. If Y={1} and X={1,2} then XUY=X is correct but that doesn't imply Y is empty.
Another example when X=Y since X is any set. I can choose X=Y. Why not? Then YUY=Y is always true, but again, that doesnt imply Y is empty set
Proof in book claim that is correct if we suppose Y is not empty and if we choose for instance X is empty set. Then 0UY=0 but this is wrong since 0UY=Y. Therefore, Y must be empty?
