What is an example of a set?

A set can be a collection of various things, including numbers, people, animals, or any other objects. The key is that the items in the set are distinct and unordered.

Study Notes

Sets

  • A set is an unordered collection of distinct objects
  • Sets can contain numbers, but not just numbers.
  • Examples of sets include a collection of even numbers, all even numbers greater than 10, etc
  • The set of natural numbers is denoted by N
  • The empty set is a set with no elements.
  • The order of elements in a set does not matter. Sets cannot have duplicate elements.

First Quartile (Q1)

  • Q1 represents the value below which 25% of the values lie in a data set.

Element of a Set

  • If x is an element of set A, it is denoted as x ∈ A

Rational Numbers

  • Rational numbers include decimals like 0.3333

Integers

  • Integers include natural numbers, their opposites, and zero

Universal Set

  • The universal set is denoted by U

Function

  • A function is a mapping between two sets where each member of the pre-image maps to exactly one member of the image.

One-to-One Relation

  • In a one-to-one relation, each member of the pre-image maps to exactly one member of the image.
  • For example, in a function f(x) = 2x + 3. The image maps to one member of the pre-image

Many-to-Many Relation

  • In a Many-to-Many relation, members of the pre-image can map to multiple numbers.

Slope (m)

  • Slope is calculated as rise over run
  • Also written as (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Domain and Range of a Function

  • Domain is the set of all possible input values
  • Range is the set of all possible output values

Quadratic Function

  • Quadratic functions are represented by the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c

Arithmetic Sequence

  • Formula for the nth term: an = a + (n-1)d
  • The common difference is the difference between any two consecutive terms
  • If the common difference between terms is zero, all terms are the same
  • The first term of an arithmetic sequence is a_1

Matrices

  • Matrix is an arrangement of numbers arranged in rows and columns.
  • Order of a matrix: number of rows * number of columns; e.g., a 3x2 matrix
  • Operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication (multiplication by a scalar)
  • Identity matrix
  • Transpose of a matrix
  • Determinant of a matrix.
  • Determinants of a 2x2 matrix (ad - bc)

Probability

  • Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring.
  • The sum of probabilities of all possible outcomes in a sample space is 1.
  • Independent events, the occurrence of one event does not affect the occurrence of the other.
  • Mutually exclusive events cannot occur together.

Expected Value

  • Expected value is the average of all possible outcomes, weighted by their probabilities.
