CONCEPT OF SET
Part 1
Discuss briefly the following terms below and provide an example.

Terminology Brief Discussion Examples

A collection of distinct objects forming a group, a well-
1. Set Ex. A = {2, 4, 6, 8}
defined collection of objects.
2. Elements Each item in a set is called element. {2, 7, 3}
A subset is a part of a given set (another set or the
3. Subset A⊆B
same set).
All the elements of a set are listed, the elements are
Z=the  set  of  all  integers={…,−3,−2,−1,0,1,2,3,

Part 2
The Following are the given sets below. List the elements of the set indicated below.
U = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}
A = {2,3,4,6}
B = {1,3,5,7,9}

1. A – B {2,4}
2. n(A) “n of A” or “the number of elements in set A
3. A∩B { x / x ε A and x ε B } the intersection of A and B
4. BUA A U B = { x / x ε A or x ε B) (B union A)
5. n(B) “n of B” or “the number of elements in set B
6. AxB {(a,b) / a ε A and b ε B}
