Exercise Set No. 2

1. Use everyday language to describe the following sets given in set-builder notation.
a) A = {x ∈ ℤ |x > – 3} = A is the set of all the x elements belonging to the set
of integers such that x is greater than - 3.
b) B = {x ∈ ℤ |x < 7 and x is an odd number} = B is the set of all the x elements
belonging to the set of integers such that x is less than 7 and x is an odd number.
c) C = {x ∈ Q |x is a divisor of 0} = C is the set of all the x elements belonging to
the set of rational numbers such that x is a divisor of 0.

2. Describe the following sets by using set-builder notation.

a) A = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, ...} : A = {x ∈ Z+|x is a odd numbers}

b) B = {0, 1, 2, 3} : B = {x ∈ Z |x ≤ 3 and x is a natural numbers}

c) C = {–27, – 8, –1, 0, 1, 8, 27} : C = {x ∈ Z| -27 ≥ x ≤ 27 and x is a cube numbers}

d) D = {1, 3, 5, 15} : D = {x ∈ Z+|x is an odd numbers}

e) E = {..., 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, ...} : E = {x ∈ Z|x is a multiple of 7}

3. Describe the following sets by listing their elements.

a) D = {x ∈ ℤ |x is an even number} : D = {…, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, …}

b) E = {x ∈ ℕ |x ≥ – 2} : E = {1, 2, 3, 4, …}

c) F = {x ∈ ℕ |x is a multiple of 100} : F = {100, 200, 300, 400, …}

d) G = {x ∈ ℤ |x is a divisor of 50} : G = {…, -100, -50, 0, 50, 150, …}

e) J = {x ∈ℤ |–2 < x < 6} : J = {-2, 0, 2, 4, 6}
