Kinds of set

State whether each is infinite or finite

Finite set Infinite set
Finite sets are the sets If a set is not finite, it is called
having a finite/countable an infinite set. Infinite sets are
number of members. also known as uncountable sets.
Finite sets are also known
So, the elements of an Infinite
as countable sets as they
set are represented by 3 dots
can be counted.
(ellipse) thus, it represents the
infinity of that set.
1. { x/x Є N and x is even } infinite

2. { 1 , 2 , 3 , . . . , 999 , 1,000 } finite

K is the set of letters of the
3. English Alphabet.
finite
{ x/x Є N and x is a number whose
4. last digit is zero }
infinite

5. { x/x is a fraction } infinite

State whether each pair of sets is
equal, equivalent, or neither.
Equal Equivalent Neither
Precisely the Same cardinal Indicates not one or
same element number the other, none of the
two.
 { s , t , u , v , w } and
1. {t,v,w,s,u}
equal
{ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 } and equivalent
2. { 10 , 20 , 30 , 40 , 50 }
{ 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 } and neither
3. {2,4,6,8,...}
{ three } and neither
4. {t,h,r,e,e}

5. { 3 } and { Ø } equivalent
Find the cardinal number for each set.
Cardinality of the set
The cardinality of a set is its size.
For a finite set, the cardinality of a set is the number
of members it contains. In symbolic notation the size
of a set S is written |S|.
  
1. A = { 63 , 72 , 51 , 44 }

2. B = { 10 , 11 , 12 , . . . , 20 } n(B) = 11 or |B| = 11
 
3. C = { x/x is a month of the year }

4. D = { t , h , r , e , e } n(D) = 4 or |D| = 4
E = { x/x Є N and x is  
5. negative }
