n (A) = lAl= 3
Example:
B = {x l x is an even number more than 15}
Types of Set
•1. Empty Set
A set which doesn’t contain any element is
called the empty set or null set, denoted by
symbol or { }.
Example:
Let R = {x l 1<x<2, x is a natural number}
Then R = { }
2. Finite and Infinite Set
A finite set is a set whose elements can be
counted. Otherwise, an infinite set is a set
whose can’t be counted.
Example:
• A = {1, 3, 5, 7} finite set
• B = {1, 2, 3, …, 10} finite set
• C = {x l x is an integer} infinite set
• D = {1, 2, 3, …} infinite set
3. Universal Set
Universal set is a set that contains all the
elements and denoted by U.
Example:
A = {x l x is a student of Class 2 A}
B = {x l x is a student of Class 2 B}
U = {x l x is a student of Class 2}
•
4. Equal Set
Example:
A = {2, 3}
B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Then AB
•
6. Power Set
The set of all the subsets of a set.
Formula :
Example:
A = {a, b, c}
P (A) = {{ }, {a}, {b}, {c}, {a, b}, {a, c}, {b, c}, {a , b, c}}
Or
n (A) = 3
P (A) = = = 8
•
7. Equivalent Set
Equivalent sets have different elements but have
the same number of elements.
Example:
A = {1, 2, 3} lAl = 3
B = {a, b, c} lBl = 3
Then A B
Special Set
Represent the set of integers.
: is the set of positive integers
: is the set of negative integers
• A ⋂ B
