First Semester, AY 2020-2021

“Cheating is a form of intellectual dishonesty that will not be condoned.” Anyone who will be caught cheating will
be punished with a grade of 5.0 in the course.

I. Write TRUE if the statement is true. Otherwise, write FALSE.

TRUE 1. If x is an element of A ∩ B, then x is not an element of B’ ∪ A’.
FALSE 2. All functions are relations.
TRUE 3. All equivalence sets are also considered as equal sets.
TRUE 4. The f(x) = √𝑥 is a function.
FALSE 5. If A = {1, 2, 3}, then the empty set is not a subset of A.
TRUE 6. The set of rational numbers is finite.
7. The set of natural numbers is a subset of the set of real numbers.
FALSE 8. All reflexive relations are also an identity relation.
FALSE 9. The binary form 1010101112 is equal to 763 in decimal.
10. The difference of functions is commutative.

II. Identify the type of set (finite, infinite, or empty) as described by the following:
1. A = {stars in the galaxy} infinite
2. B = { } empty
3. C = {1, 2, 3, …} finite
4. D = {set of negative integers} finite
5. E = {set of even prime numbers} finite
6. F = {Φ} empty
7. G = {multiples of 9} finite
8. H = {Greek letters} infinite
9. I = {w, x, y, z} empty
10. J = {natural numbers less than 11} finite

III. Write your answers using either roster or rule method.

Given
A = set of natural numbers
B = set of whole numbers
C = set of integers
D = set of rational numbers
U = set of real numbers

Find
1. A ∪ C 6. (U \ A’) ∩ (U \ B’)
2. B ∩ C 7. U’ ∩ A
3. C ∩ (A ∪ B) = 8. A ∩ B ∩ C ∩ D
4. A \ C 9. A ∪ B ∪ C ∪ D
5. B \ A 10. D’
III. Give the correct answer for each answer.
Twenty (20) faculty members were asked regarding their preferred field trip
destination. Results show that 8 chose Palawan, 7 chose Batanes, and 5 preferred both
Palawan and Batanes. How many of them would like to go to:
1. Palawan and Batanes
2. Exactly one place
3. Batanes only
4. Neither Palawan nor Batanes
5. Either Palawan or Batanes

IV. Provide a COMPLETE and NEAT solution for the following problems. Incomplete
solutions will not be given full credit. You can write your answers on a paper then capture it
using your cameras and attached it on your answers.

Consider the following fractions

𝑥+𝑦
𝐴=
𝑥−𝑦
8𝑥 − 2𝑥 𝑦 + 12𝑥2𝑦 − 3𝑦3
4 2 2

𝐵=
12𝑥4 − 10𝑥 3𝑦 − 8𝑥 2𝑦 2 + 18𝑥 2𝑦 − 15𝑥 𝑦 2 − 12𝑦3
60𝑥3 − 21𝑥 2𝑦 − 18𝑥 𝑦 2 + 40𝑥 2𝑦 − 14𝑥𝑦2 − 12𝑦3
𝐶=
80𝑥 2𝑦 − 28𝑥𝑦2 − 24𝑦3 − 60𝑥3 + 21𝑥 2𝑦 + 18𝑥𝑦2
2𝑥2 − 𝑥𝑦 − 3𝑦2
𝐷= 2
2𝑥 − 5𝑥𝑦 + 3𝑦2
(𝑥2 + 𝑥𝑦 + 𝑦2)(2𝑥2 + 5𝑥𝑦 + 3𝑦2) 3𝑥4 −
𝐸=
4𝑥3𝑦 − 3𝑥𝑦3 + 4𝑦4

Perform the indicated operations and simplify.

1. Find B – C
2. Find D + E
3. Using part (1) and (2) find A[B-C] ÷ [D+E]

V. If the problem is in binary, convert it into decimal, if it is on decimal, convert in into binary.
1. 1111110000000000002 6. 0010101010012
2. 322 7. 1822
3. 842 8. 420
4. 10010101011002 9. 0000000001111002
5. 2020 10 101010111111102
