Study Notes
Cardinal Numbers and Set Equality
- Cardinal number represents the size of a set, denoted by |A| for finite set A.
- Elements repeated in a set are counted once; for example, {5, 7, 0, 5} equals {0, 5, 7} with |A| = 3.
- Two sets A and B are equal (A = B) if they contain the same elements.
Equivalent Sets
- Sets A and B are equivalent (A ∼ B) if they have the same number of elements.
- All equal sets are equivalent, but not all equivalent sets are equal.
Subsets and Proper Subsets
- Set A is a subset of set B (A ⊆ B) if all elements of A are also in B.
- Set A is a proper subset of set B (A ⊂ B) if A is a subset of B and A is not equal to B.
Subset Relationships
- If A is not a subset of B, this is denoted as A ⊄ B.
- Example: 0 is a whole number but not a natural number.
Theorems on Subsets
- A set with n elements has 2^n subsets.
- A set with n elements has 2^n - 1 proper subsets.
Examples of Subsets
- For set Y = {coke, pepsi, 7-up, sprite}, the subsets include:
- 0 elements: {}
- 1 element: {coke}, {pepsi}, {7-up}, {sprite}
- 2 elements: {coke, pepsi}, {coke, 7-up}, {pepsi, sprite}, etc.
- 3 elements and 4 elements up to {coke, pepsi, 7-up, sprite}
- Total subsets for a 4-element set: 16 subsets, 15 proper subsets.
Basic Properties of Sets
- A set is a defined collection of distinct objects called members or elements.
- Sets can be finite (e.g., months starting with M) or infinite (e.g., positive odd integers).
Methods for Representing Sets
- Statement form: Narrative description of set elements.
- Roster method: Listing elements separated by commas in braces (e.g., {1, 2, 3}).
- Set-Builder notation: Used for describing infinite sets effectively.
Objectives of the Lesson
- Learn methods of set representation.
- Define empty sets and symbols ∈ (element of) and ∉ (not an element of).
- Apply set notation to real numbers and their subsets.
- Determine the cardinal number of a set.
- Recognize equivalent, equal, subsets, and proper subsets.
- Differentiate between finite and infinite sets.
