Study Notes
Sets
- A set is a well-defined collection of objects, called elements.
- Elements are distinct and follow a specific rule or characteristic
- Sets are written using curly braces {}.
How to Define Sets
- Sets can be defined in three ways:
- Roster Form: Listing all elements inside curly braces. Example: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
- Set-builder Notation: Describing the properties of elements in a set using a condition. Example: {x | x is a natural number less than 6}.
- Descriptive Form: Writing a description of the set in words. Example: "The set of all even numbers between 1 and 10".
Comparing Sets Using Symbols
- Equal Sets (A = B): Two sets are equal if they have exactly the same elements. Example: {1, 2, 3} = {3, 1, 2} (Order does not matter)
- Subset (A ⊆ B): Set A is a subset of Set B if all elements of A are also in B. Example: {1, 2} ⊆ {1, 2, 3, 4}
- Proper Subset (A ⊂ B): Set A is a proper subset of Set B if A is a subset of B but A ≠ B . Example: {1, 2} ⊂ {1, 2, 3}
- Superset (A ⊇ B): Set A is a superset of Set B if A contains all elements of B. Example: {1, 2, 3, 4} ⊇ {1, 2}
- Proper Superset (A ⊃ B): Set A is a proper superset of Set B if A contains all elements of B and A ≠ B. Example: {1, 2, 3} ⊃ {1, 2}
- Disjoint Sets: Two sets are disjoint if they have no common elements. Example: {1, 2, 3} ∩ {4, 5, 6} = Ø
Subset (⊆)
- A subset contains some or all elements of another set. Example: {a,b} ⊆ {a, b, c, d}
Proper Subset (⊂)
- A proper subset contains some but not all elements of another set Example: {x,y} ⊂{x, y, z}
Power Set
- The power set includes all possible subsets, including the empty set and the set itself. Example: If A = {1, 2}, the power set of A is {Ø, {1}, {2}, {1, 2}}.
Cardinality of a Set
- The cardinality of a set refers to the number of elements in the set. It is denoted by |A| for a set A
- Finite Set Cardinality: If a set has a specific number of elements, its cardinality is a non-negative integer. Example: If A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, then |A| = 4.
- Infinite Set Cardinality: If a set has an unlimited number of elements, its cardinality is infinite. Example: The set of natural numbers {1, 2, 3, ...} has infinite cardinality.
- Empty Set Cardinality: The empty set has a cardinality of zero. Example: |Ø| = 0
Operations with Integers
- Addition:
- Same signs: Add the absolute values and keep the common sign. Example: (-5) + (-3) = -8.
- Different signs: Subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger, and take the sign of the larger number. Example: (-7) + 4 = -3.
- Subtraction: Change the subtraction into addition by adding the opposite. Example: 5 - (-3) = 5 + 3 = 8
- Multiplication and Division:
- Same signs: The result is positive. Example: (-6) × (-2) = 12
- Different signs: The result is negative. Example: (-8) ÷ 4 = -2
Order of Operations (PEMDAS)
- Parentheses: Solve expressions inside parentheses first.
- Exponents: Evaluate powers and square roots.
- Multiplication and Division: From left to right.
- Addition and Subtraction: From left to right. Example: 5 + (3 × 2) = 5 + 6 = 11.
The Writing Process
- Prewriting (Planning & Brainstorming):
- Think about your topic and purpose.
- Brainstorm ideas using mind maps or lists.
- Identify your audience (Who will read your work?).
- Gather relevant information and organize your thoughts.
- Drafting (Writing the First Version):
- Start writing without worrying about grammar and spelling.
- Focus on expressing ideas clearly.
- Follow a structure: introduction, body, and conclusion.
- Revising (Improving Content & Structure):
- Read your work and improve clarity.
- Check if ideas flow logically.
- Add, remove, or reorganize sentences if needed.
- Ask for feedback from others.
- Editing (Correcting Mistakes):
- Fix grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors.
- Ensure sentence structure is correct.
- Replace unclear or repetitive words with better choices.
- Publishing (Sharing the Final Version):
- Write the final, polished version.
- Present your work by printing, posting online, or submitting it.
Expository Text Structures with Diagrams
- Sequence/Chronological Order: Arranging information in the order of occurrence. Example used is a timeline or flowchart.
- Compare & Contrast: Highlighting similarities and differences between two or more subjects. Example uses a Venn diagram or T-chart.
- Cause & Effect: Explaining the relationship between causes and their effects. Example types are fishbone diagram and concept map.
- Problem & Solution: Identifying problems and providing possible solutions. Example uses problem solution chart or flowchart.
Unity, Cohesion, and Coherence in Writing
- Unity: All sentences in a paragraph relate to the main idea Example: "I love pizza because it's cheesy and delicious...", not "I love pizza. The Eiffel Tower is in Paris...",
- Cohesion: Sentences flow smoothly connecting with transitions (furthermore, similarly, however).
- Coherence: Ideas organized logically. Explanations must be well-structured.
Block vs. Point-by-Point Method in Compare & Contrast Essays
- Block Method: Discusses one subject completely, then the other.
- Point-by-Point Method: Discusses one point at a time for both subjects.
