Study Notes
Sets Defined
- Set A = {2, 4, 6} and Set B = {1, 2, 4, 6}.
- Every element of A is found in B, making A a subset of B.
- Set B contains at least one element (1) not present in A.
Subsets and Proper Subsets
- Subsets of set A = {w, x, y, z} consist of:
- No element: { }
- One element: {w}, {x}, {y}, {z}
- Two elements: {w, x}, {w, y}, {w, z}, {x, y}, {x, z}, {y, z}
- Three elements: {w, x, y}, {w, x, z}, {w, y, z}, {x, y, z}
- Four elements: {w, x, y, z}
- Total number of subsets = 16 (calculated as 2^n, where n = number of elements).
Types of Sets
- Universal Set (U): Contains all possible elements relevant to a particular discussion.
- Empty Set (Null Set): Denoted by { }, it contains no elements and is a subset of every set.
Set Operations
- Intersection: Set of elements common to both sets (A ∩ B).
- Union: Set of elements in either set (A ∪ B), combining all unique members.
- Set Difference: Elements in one set but not the other (A - B).
- Complement of a Set: Contains all elements in the universal set not included in the specified set.
Practice Exercises
- Example sets for practice include:
- A = {1,2,3,...,45}
- B = {x | x is a multiple of 3, 1 < x < 30}
- C = {even numbers from 1 to 18}
- The exercises may include calculating cardinals and performing operations like intersection and union on various sets.
Key Set Operations Examples
- Given sets A = {a, b, c, d, e} and B = {e, g, k, a}:
- A ∪ B = {a, b, c, d, e, g, k}
- B ∪ C will involve inclusion from both sets.
Advanced Set Operations
- Involving more than two sets:
- Operations like (A ∪ C) ∪ B demonstrate the combinatorial nature of set union.
Exercise Review
- Reviewing intersections and unions with examples:
- A ∩ B and C ∩ B lead to finding common elements across sets.
- Full compound operations like (A ∩ B) ∪ C consolidate knowledge of set combinations.
Summary
- Understanding sets, their properties, subsets, and various operations forms a foundation for higher-level mathematical concepts.
- Practice with real set examples builds proficiency in recognizing and manipulating sets in problem-solving contexts.
