Module 1.1 Basic Ideas On Sets
for S = {2, 4, 6}
EQUIVALENT sets – two sets that contain exactly the same number of
elements .
EQUAL sets – two sets that contain exactly the same elements.
CARDINAL number – number of elements in the set.
SUBSET – Set A is a subset of set B, written A B, if and only if every
element in A is also in B.
EQUIVALENT sets – two sets that contain exactly
the same number of elements .
A = {1, 2, 3, 4} B = {m, a, t, h}
EQUAL sets – two sets that contain exactly
the same elements.
X = {a, e, i, o, u} Y = {o, e, a, i, u}
CARDINAL number – number of elements in
the set; for set A denoted by n(A).
A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} B = {2, 4, 6, 8}
therefore,
A B = {2, 4}
UNION of sets – denoted by , is the set of elements that are members of A,
or members of B, or members of both A and B.
X = {a, b, c, d, e} Y = {a, e, i, o, u}
therefore,
X Y = {a, b, c, d, e, i, o, u}
DIFFERENCE of two sets – written as A – B, is a set of elements in A
that are not in B.
A = {r, o, y, g, b, i, v} B = {r, y, b}
therefore,
A – B = {o, g, i, v}
B–A={}
COMPLEMENT of a Set – written as A’ is the set of all elements in
the universal set (U) that are not in set A.
therefore,
A’ = {3, 9, 12}
