Worksheet on Sets in Set-builder Form

Practice the worksheet on sets in Set-builder Form to write a set using the Rule or Set-builder
method. We know, to express the set in Set-builder Form actual elements of the set are not
listed but a rule or a statement or a formula in the briefest possible way.
