Study Notes
Sets
- A set is a well-defined collection of objects.
- Well-defined means each object in the collection is clearly identifiable.
- Elements of a set are distinct
Representation of Sets
-
Roster Method (Tabular Form): Listing all elements within curly brackets. Examples:
- Vowels: {a, e, i, o, u}
- First five natural numbers: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
-
Set-builder Form: Defining the set by a property shared by all elements. Example:
- Set of even natural numbers: {x: x is an even natural number}
Classification of Sets
- Finite Set: Contains a countable number of elements. Example: The set of letters in the English alphabet.
- Infinite Set: Contains an uncountable number of elements. Example: The set of natural numbers.
- Empty (Null) Set: A set with no elements, denoted by ∅ or {}.
- Singleton Set: A set with only one element. Example: {2}
Subsets
- A set A is a subset of set B (A ⊂ B) if every element of A is also an element of B.
- The null set is a subset of every set.
Union of Sets
- The union of two sets A and B (A ∪ B) is a set containing all elements from either set A, or set B, or both.
Intersection of Sets
- The intersection of two sets A and B (A ∩ B) is a set containing only the elements common to both set A and set B.
- Disjoint sets have no elements in common (A ∩ B = ∅).
Complement of a Set
- The complement of a set A (A') is the set of all elements in the universal set that are not in set A.
- A' = U – A. U represents the universal set containing all elements under consideration.
Venn Diagrams
- Visual representations of sets using overlapping circles.
- Represent relationships between sets.
