Study Notes
Definitions and Concepts
- Empty Set: Denoted as { }, contains no elements.
- Universal Set: Represents all elements considered in a context, often illustrated as the set of all real numbers.
- Subset: A collection of elements that belong to another set, e.g., {2, 4, 6,...} is a subset of positive even numbers.
- Element: A single member of a set, e.g., 3 is an element of set X={1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.
Set Examples
- Set A: {1, 3, 5, 7}
- Set B: {11, 13, 15, 21}
- Proper Subset: A set that does not contain all elements of another set, e.g., {2, 4} is a subset of X={1,2,3,4,5}, while {5} is a proper subset of counting numbers.
Proper Subsets
- Proper subsets of positive integers include {} and the set of positive, odd integers.
- Examples of proper subsets of set Y={5, 10, 15, 20, 25} are {5, 15} and {10}.
Set Complements
- Complement of a Set: Comprises elements not contained within the original set.
- Complement of Empty Set: The universal set itself.
- For sets U, A, B, and C, complements are matched as follows:
- A={1, 3} → {5, 7,...}
- C={} → {1, 3, 5,...}
- B={5, 7,...} → {1, 3}
- U={1, 3, 5,...} → {}
Union of Sets
- Union of Two Sets: A set containing all elements from both sets; for example, the union of A={a, b, c, d}, B={d, e, f, g, h}, and C={e, i, o, u} results in {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, o, u}.
- Union Example with Multiples of 10: Given U={10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100}, and X={20, 40, 60}, Y={30, 60, 90}, the union X′∪Y results in {10, 30, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100}.
Important Points to Note
- Positive Even Numbers: Set A contains positive even numbers, while subsets include specific even numbers and the empty set.
- Remember proper subsets: They must contain less than the original set's elements.
- Universal Set in Context: Can vary depending on the context, such as positive integers or real numbers.
