Set-Builder Notation
𝑵 = 𝑥 𝑥 𝑖𝑠 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 1 𝑡𝑜 15
𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑 𝑎𝑠:
Set N is the set of all elements x, such that x is even number between 1 to 15
Cardinality of Sets
symbol The number of distinct elements in a finite
set.
𝑛 𝐴 read as ‘the number of elements of set A.’

𝑛 𝑁 =7
B is the set of Letters in the English Alphabet
𝑛 𝐵 = 26
Set Membership
symbol A symbol to show that an object is a
member of a set
∈ read as ‘is an element of’ or ‘is a member of.’
