2.3 Set Operations Intersection Union

Ways to represent a set: Roster method: V={a,e,i,o,u} A={a,b,c,d,e,...x,y,z} D={Sun,Mon,Tues,...Fri,Sat} N={1,2,3,4,...} natural numbers Set builder notation: D={x| } Empty set { } or Ǿ Notation

Definitions

The cardinal number is the number of elements in a set.

Finite setthe number of elements is a natural number or 0

Exercises from 2.11. True or False from section 2.1

a. a {a,e,I,o,u}∈b. 4 {x| x N } ∈ ∈c. 4 {x| x N and x is odd}∈ ∈

2. Find the cardinal number of each.a. V={x | x is a vowel} n(V)=b. A=(x |x is a letter of the alphabet} n(A)=

3. Are the following sets finite or infinite?a. V={x | x is a vowel}b. A=(x |x is a letter of the alphabet}c. N={x | x is a natural number}

Section 2.2- Subsets

Examples: Let B={x|x is a resident of PA}Find some subsets of B Def: Set A is a subset of set B, A B, if every element

in set A is also an element in set B.

Def: Set A is a proper subset of set B, A B, if A is smaller than B and if every element in set A is also an element in set B.

1. Element and subset notation from section 2.2: Are the following true or false?

a. Pennsylvania {x | x is one of the United State}b. Pennsylvania {x | x is one of the United States}c. {Pennsylvania} {x | x is one of the United States}d. {Pennsylvania} {x | x is one of the United States}e. {Pennsylvania, Ohio} {x | x is one of the United States}f. {Pennsylvania, Ohio} {x | x is one of the United States}g. { } = ∅h. { } = ∅ ∅i. a {a,b,c,}∈h. {a,b} {a,b,c,}i. {a,b} {a,b,c,}j. {a,b,c} {a,b,c,}k. {a,b,c} {a,b,c,}l. { } {a,b,c,}∈m. { } {a,b,c,}n. { } {a,b,c,}

Find all subsets of {a,b}

2. Find all subsets of {a,b} 3. Find all proper subsets of {a,b} (Proper subsets of B are

subsets of B that are not equal to B. That is, they are smaller)

4. Find all subsets of {a,b,c}

5. How many subsets would {a,b,c,d} have?

Section 2.3- Set Operations:

Def: A' = complement of A A' = intersection: A B union: A B

Set Operations: 1. For the following diagram, answer the questionsAll students in a tutoring group: U={Anne, Bob, Cindy, Dave, Ellen}Students who studied Saturday: A={Anne, Bob, Cindy}Students who studied Sunday: B={Cindy, Dave}List and describe the students who are in: A B =A B =A’ =B’ =(A B)’ =(A B)’ =

2. For the following, answer…U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10},A={1,3,5,7,9},B={1,2,3,4,5}

A B= A B=A’ = B ‘ = (A B) ‘ = A’ B ‘ = (A B) ‘ = A’ B ‘ =

b. How many registered only for an English course?

c. How many registered for a math course or an English course?

d. How many did not register for either a math course of an English course?

#22. (#46) A survey of 180 college men was

taken to determine participation in various campus activities. 43 were in fraternities, 52 in sports, 35 in tutorial programs. 13 were in fraternities and sports, 14 in sports and tutorial, 12 in fraternities and tutorial, and 5 were in all three. Of those surveyed, how many participated in:
