Set Theory
- A set is a collection of distinct objects.
- Elements of a set are denoted by curly braces {}.
- Example of a set: A = {1/2, 3}
- An element that belongs to the set B is denoted by "∈".
- An element that does not belong to the set B is denoted by "∉".
Sets of Numbers
-
Natural Numbers (N):
- N = {1, 2, 3, ...}
- Contains all positive whole numbers.
-
Whole Numbers (Z):
- Z = {-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}
- Contains all positive, negative, and zero integers.
-
Rational Numbers (Q):
- Q = {x | x can be expressed as a fraction a/b, where a and b are integers, and b ≠ 0}
- Includes all numbers that can be represented as a ratio of two integers.
-
Real Numbers (R):
- R = {all rational and irrational numbers}
- The set of all numbers that can be plotted on a number line.
-
Irrational Numbers:
- Numbers that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers. Examples include √2, π, and e.
-
Integers (Z):
- Contains all positive, negative, and zero integers.
Example of Solving a mathematical problem
- The text provides an example of solving a mathematical problem. It uses the concept of 'corresponds' to solve for 'x' in a mathematical equation.
- The problem involves a combination of real numbers and exponents.
- The steps to solve the equation involve:
- simplifying exponents.
- multiplying both sides of the equation.
- isolating the variable 'x'.
- finding the value of 'x'.
