-itis a collection of
objects, things or
symbols which are
clearly defined. Note; the group are called sets for as long as
the object in the group share a characteristics
and are ,well –defined.
�  
Examples.

1. { apples, orange, banana}

2. { Sarah, Sheila, Shamema, Sandra, Shienna}

a. Is the given set well-defined ?
1.{ set of months in a year }
Yes or No because________________
2.{ popular actors}
Yes or No because__________________
3 { set of beautiful student}

The Universal set is the set that contains all
objects under consideration.
Example:
Identify the universal set of set A = counting numbers less than 10
and set B = set of positive even numbers less than 20.

A = counting numbers less than 10

B = set of positive even numbers less than 20.

A= { 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1}
B ={ 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18}
A= { 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1}
B ={ 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18}

U= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18}

Try this

A= { set of positive even numbers less than 5}

B= { set of counting numbers from 10 to 15}

A= { 2, 4 }

B={ 10, 11,12,13, 14,15 }

U= { 2, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,15 }

�  
b,. Which of the following set is an empty set and
why?

1. Triangles with four sides.it is an empty set

because______________

2. Pandas in the Philippines. It is an empty set

because ________________
�  
The cardinality of a set is the number of elements contained
in that set.

Example: the cardinality of

� Set of gadgets is 3
� Set of things worn by boys is 2

� The cardinality of set A is written as n(A).

Example:

D = counting numbers less than 10

D= { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}

n {D} = { 9 }
TRY this:
Which of the following are well-defined set?

1. All the prime numbers less than 30.

2. All the prime numbers less than fifty.
3. All the letters in ALGEBRA.
4. All the tall boys of the school.
5. All the consonants of the English alphabet.
Seat work:
Which of the following are well-defined set?

1. All the prime numbers less than 30.

2. All the numbers.
3. All the letters in ALGEBRA.
4. All the tall boys of the school.
5. All the consonants of the English alphabet.

Answer; 1, 3,5
c . Identify the elements, subsets and
cardinality of the given set.
D= { first five positive even numbers}
Elements: 2, 4, ___, 8, __
Subsets: { 2} , { 2,4} { } , { } , { }
Cardinality: n ( C) =_____

Universal Set The cardinality

U of a set A is
Set ALL elements   written as n(A)
A= { set of counting greater than 5 but less than 15}
B= { set of positive even numbers less than 10}

U= { }

n(A)= { }
n(B)= { }
�  
A set can be defined in two ways:
Roster or Listing Method- the set can be defined by listing or
enumerating all its elements, separated by commas and enclosed within
braces.
For instance:
 
B = {a, b, c, d, e}
C = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
 
Descriptive Method - it is stating in words the
elements of the set.

For instance:
B= {set of first letter in an English alphabet}
C= {set of even numbers less than ten}
▪ Write the following sets in descriptive form
▪ A = {2, 4, 6, 8}
▪ B= { 3, 6, 9, 12 , 15}
▪ C = { 1, 3, 5, 7, 9}

▪ Write the following sets in roaster form.

▪ A= { numbers less than 10}
▪ A= { positive numbers divisible by 12}
▪ SUBSET it is a set that is a part of a set.

▪ when asset is contained in another set B , we say that set A is a subset

of set B .
▪ The universal set is the set that contains all objects under
consideration.
▪ The null set is an empty set.

▪ The null set is a subset of any set.

▪ The cardinality of a set A is the number of elements contained in A.

KINDS OF SETS

Example: 1

Set M= { whole numbers less than 8}

M= {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}
Example:2

Set A= { whole numbers greater than 100]

A= { 101,102,103,…}
Example :3 Example: 4
P= {blue, red, white} and Q= {1, 2, 3}

B= { m, n, p, q, r} and
D= { n, p ,r, m, q} P ͠ Q
are equivalent sets

B=D
�  
� If A = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} and B = { 2, 4, 6, 8},

then the universal set U, assuming there is no other set present in

U = { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}

� Complement of set A is the set of elements in the universal set that are not in set A.
� Example: if U = { m, n, p, q, r} and A ={ m, p , r}, then the complement of A, denoted by
A΄ = {n, q}.
