Study Notes

Operations on Sets

  • Set Operations: Key operations include union, intersection, complement, and difference.
  • Venn Diagrams: Visual tools for illustrating relationships between sets; universal set depicted as a rectangle, subsets as circles or ovals.

Types of Sets

  • Universal Set (U): Contains all elements under discussion.
  • Subsets: Sets that consist of elements belonging to another set.
  • Disjoint Sets: Sets with no common elements.
  • Equal Sets: Two sets that contain the same elements.
  • Proper Subsets: All elements of set A are also in set B, but B contains additional elements.
  • Some Common Elements: At least one element is shared between sets.

Set Definitions

  • Intersection (A ∩ B): Elements common to both sets A and B, expressed as A∩B = {x | x ∈ A and x ∈ B}.
  • Union (A ∪ B): Elements in either set A, B, or both, expressed as A∪B = {x | x ∈ A or x ∈ B}.
  • Empty Set (Ø): A set with no elements; any set intersected with Ø results in Ø, and the union with Ø equals the original set.

Examples of Set Operations

  • Intersection Examples:

    • {7, 8, 9, 10, 11} ∩ {6, 8, 10, 12} results in {8, 10}.
    • {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} ∩ {2, 4, 6, 8} results in Ø (no common elements).
    • {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} ∩ Ø results in Ø.

  • Union Examples:

    • {7, 8, 9, 10, 11} ∪ {6, 8, 10, 12} results in {6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}.
    • {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} ∪ {2, 4, 6, 8} results in {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}.
    • {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} ∪ Ø results in {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}.

Complement of a Set

  • Complement (A'): Contains all elements in the universal set that are not in set A, expressed as A' = {x | x ∈ U and x ∉ A}.
  • Visual Representation: Shaded region outside the set circle in Venn diagrams represents the complement.

Examples of Performing Set Operations

  • Given U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}, A = {1, 3, 7, 9}, and B = {3, 7, 8, 10}:
    • To find (A ∪ B)', first calculate A ∪ B = {1, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10}, then find the complement (A ∪ B)' = {2, 4, 5, 6}.

Key Points

  • Always perform operations inside parentheses first.
  • Venn diagrams enhance understanding of set relationships and operations.
  • Differentiating between subsets, disjoint sets, and equal sets is crucial for accurate set operations.
