Module Title: The Language of Sets, Functions and Relations, and Binary Operations
Overview
All of mathematics can be seen as the study of relations between collections of objects by
rigorous rational arguments. More often than not the patterns in those collections and their
relations are more important than the nature of the objects themselves. Sets, relations and
functions are all part of the set theory. These tools help in carrying out logical and mathematical
set operations on mathematical and other real-world entities. Sets help in distinguishing the
groups of certain kind of objects. Whereas set operations i.e., relations and functions are the ways
we use to connect and to work with sets.
The basic operations of mathematics- addition, subtraction, division and multiplication are
performed on two operands.

A. Fill in the table below with the corresponding notation or statement and evaluate
if what is states is true or false. Refer to these four sets for your answers:
A = {two, three, ten, twelve, twenty}
B = {2, 4, 6, 8}
C = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50, …}
D = {…, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, … }
B. Solve the following word problems involving sets. Draw a Venn diagram and
write the cardinal number of each region. Write you answer on the space
provided.

D. Decide whether the given set B is closed with respect to the binary operation
defined on the set of integers Z. If B is not closed, exhibit elements x,y ∈ B such
that x*y ∉ B (give a counterexample or explanation.) (3 points each)
1) x * y = xy, B = {n ∈ Z: n ≥ -3}
2) x * y = x – y, B = {n ∈ Z: n > 0}
3) x * y = x/y, B = {n ∈ Z: n > 0}
4) x * y = x2 + y2, B = {n ∈ Z: n > 0}
5) x * y = x2 + y2, B = {n ∈ Z: n < 0}
