BASIC IDEA OF SETS1

Our daily activities often involve groups or collection of objects, such as set of wardrobe, group of students, a collection of toys, a list of formulas, and many others.

One of the important foundation for some topics in mathematics is the idea of sets. This chapter covers the fundamental concepts of a set, kinds of sets, union of sets, and intersection of sets.

Learning GoalsAt the end of the chapter, the students should be able to:

1.1 Defineanddescribeasetand use a Venn diagram to illustrate a set and properties of set operations

1.2 Describe and illustrate complement of a set, and union and intersection of sets

George Ferdinand Ludwig Philipp Cantor (1845–1918) is a German mathematician known as the founder of set theory. Cantorsetforththemoderntheoryoninfinitesetsthatdevelopedallthedisciplinesinmathematics.Cantordefinedwell-orderedand infinite sets. He established the importance of one-to-one correspondence between the members of two sets. He showedthatnotallinfinitesetshavethesamesize,therefore,infinitesetscanbecomparedwithoneanother.Hethenprovedthatthereal numbers are “numerous” than the natural numbers.He definedwhat it means for two sets to have the same cardinal number.

Historical Note

Synergy for Success in Mathematics Chapter 1

A set is a collection of objectswhich are clearly defined as belongingtoawell-definedgroup.Eachobjectinasetiscalledan element of a set. Each element is separated by a comma. The set is enclosed by braces { }. Normally, a capital letter is used to name or label a set.

For example, set A consists of all subjects offered in secondary school.

A = {set of subjects in secondary school}

A = {English, Math, Science, CLE, Filipino, Social Studies, MAPEH}

Asetmustbewelldefinedsothatwecandeterminewhetheran object is an element of the set.

A set may be described using a set notation. The two main methods of set notation are the rule method or set builder notation and the roster or listing method.

Rule Method Roster or Listing Method

A x x={ }: is a counting number from 1 to 5 A={ }1 2 3 4 5, , , ,

B x x={ }: is a month that starts with letter A B={ }April, August

C x x={ }: is a prime factor of 15 C={ }3 5,

In roster or listing method, the elements are separated by commas and are enclosed within a pair of brace { }.

1.1 Introduction to Sets

4

Notice that set A in the rule method is properly described so that it could be easier to list down all the possible elements.

A x x={ }: is a counting number from 1 to 5 is read as “A is the set of elements x, such that x is a counting number from 1 to 5.”

There are cases when it is too tedious or impossible to list all the elements of a set. There are sets whose elements are infiniteortoomanytoencloseinsidebraces.Suchsetsareratherdefinedusingtherulemethod.

For example:

A x x={ }: is an even number between 1 and 100

A={ }2 4 6 8 96 98, , , , , ,

The three dots (...) are called ellipsis which means "continue on." The ellipsis represents the other elements which are no longer practical to include in the list.

List all the elements of the following sets.

(a) A = {x : x is a letter in the word SUBTRACT}(b) B = {x : x is a counting number greater than 8}

SOLUTION

(a) A = {S, U, B, T, R, A, C} Although there are two T's, this letter must be

written only once within the brace.(b) B = {9, 10, 11, 12, ...} The ellipsis is used to acknowledge the existence of

other elements. It indicates that there are infinitecounting numbers greater than 8, which is impossible to list them all down.

The table below indicates the common symbols used to show the relationship between sets and elements.

Symbol WordsÎ elementÏ not an elementÌ subset; part ofË not a subset; not a part ofÆ empty; no element; null setÈ union; combine elementsÇ intersection; common element(s)

To relate or describe the relationship between an element and a set, we use Îand Ï .

For example: If A = {a, e, i, o, u}, then u and b∈ ∉A A.

This implies that “u belongs to A” and “b is not an element of A.”

Given: B={ }all the factors of 24

Fill in the blanks with ∈ ∉ or .

(a) 1 B(b) 15 B(c) 8 B(d) 4 B(e) 12 B(f) 16 B

SOLUTION

(a) 1ÎB(b) 15Ï B(c) 8ÎB(d) 4ÎB(e) 12ÎB(f) 16ÎB

Example 2

6

The factors 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 are numbers which can exactly divide 24. Thus, these numbers are considered factors of 24.

The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 can exactly divide 24. Thus, these numbers are considered factors of 24.

The numbers 15 and 16 are not factors of 24 because of the existence of a remainder when 24 is divided by either of these two numbers.

Universal Set

A set that contains everything or all elements under consideration and are relevant to the problem is called a universal set, denoted as U.

A universal set could be drawn (usually as a rectangle) to contain all the members which are considered.

For example:U = {set of whole numbers less than 10}U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

Empty or Null Sets

A set with no elements in it is known as an empty set or null set. It is represented by ∅ { } or by (a set with no elements).However,itisneverrepresentedby ∅{ }.

For example:E = {the month of the year with more than 31 days}E = { } or E=∅ since there are no months with more than

31 days.

Determine whether each of the following sets is empty or not.(a) P = { x : x is kind of triangle having sides of

different lengths} (b) Q = {x : x is a factor of 16 and 20 30< < }x(c) R = {x : x is a prime number and 8 10< < }x

SOLUTION

(a) A scalene triangle has sides of different lengths. Hence,P≠∅.

(b) The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. There are no factorsof16between20and30.Hence,Q≠∅.

(c) A prime number has only two factors, itself and 1. 9 is between 8 and 10. 9 has three factors: 1, 3, and 9.Hence,R≠∅.

Subset

A subset is a portion of a set. A set is a subset of another set if and only if all the elements of a set are contained in another set.

Set Q is a subset of set P if every element of set Q is also an element of set P. If set Q is a subset of P, but not equal to set P, then Q is a proper subset of P.

Notation: Q P x Q x P⊂ ∈ ∈, if , then .

The following generalizations are consequences of thedefinition.

(1) Every set is a subset of itself. Notation: A AÌ

(2) An empty set is a subset of every set. Notation: ∅⊂ A

Fill in each of the following blanks with the symbol Ì or Ë.

(a) {6, 7, 8} ____ {0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}(b) { j, l, q} ____ {vowels}(c) {blue, red} ____ {rainbow colors}(d) {8, 16} ____ {multiples of 16}

SOLUTION

(a) {6, 7, 8} {0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

6, 7, and 8 can be found in {0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}.(b) { j,l,q} {vowels}

j, l, and q are not vowels.(c) {blue, red} {rainbow colors}

Blue and red are two of the rainbow colors.(d) {8, 16} {multiples of 16}

8 is not a multiple of 16.

For example:P = {set of two-digit positive integers ending with the

digit 9}P = {19, 29, 39, 49, 59, 69, 79, 89, 99}The number of elements in a finite set is denoted byP P. The symbol is read as “cardinality of set P.”

Special Sets

A subset is a set contained within another set, or it can be the entire set itself. The set {1, 2} is a subset of the set {1, 2, 3}, and the set {1, 2, 3} is a subset of the set {1, 2, 3}. When the subset is missing some elements that are in the set it is being compared to, it is a proper subset. When the subset is the set itself, it is an improper subset.

The symbol used to indicate “is a proper subset of” is Ì . When there is the possibility of using an improper subset, the symbol used is Í . Therefore, 1 2 1 2 3, , ,{ }⊂{ } and 1 2 3 1 2 3, , , , .{ }⊆{ } The universal set is the general category set, or the set of all those elements under consideration. The empty set, or null set, is the set with no elements or members.

Both the universal set and the empty set are subsets of every set.

12

Equal Sets and Equivalent Sets

Two sets may contain exactly the same elements or the same number of elements.

Two sets are considered equal only if each member of one set is also a member of the other, in which case it can be stated that A B= .

Two sets are considered equivalent if they contain the same number of elements.

Consider set A B={ } ={ }2 5 1 1 2 5, , , , . and

Since A and B have exactly the same elements, then A B= .They are also equivalent sets since they contain the same number of elements. This is stated as A B= .

Determine whether the following pairs of sets are equal or equivalent.

(a) X Y={ } ={ }4 5 6 7 5 7 4 6, , , ; , , ,

(b) A={common multiples of 5 and 7

which are less than 880} B={ }35 75,

(c) C D={ } ={ }0 ;

SOLUTION

(a) X Y

So, A is equivalent to B but not equal.

(c) C DC D≠

So, C and D are neither equal nor equivalent.

Venn Diagrams

Venn diagrams are schematic diagrams used to depict collections of sets and represent their relationships. Any closed geometrical shapes (circles, ovals, rectangles, ...) can be used to represent Venn diagram.

Consider set A is specified after a universal set has been defined. Set A has to be located within the universal set as it must be a subset of the universal set. Set A could be drawn as any plane figure within the universal set.

Union of Sets and Intersection of Sets

The operations on sets somewhat behave in a similar manner to the basic operations on numbers.

The union of a set is the result of adding or combining the elements of two or more sets.

The union of set A and set B, denoted by A È B and read as “A union B,” is the set of all elements belonging to either of the sets. Each element of the union is an element of either set A and/or set B.

If U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}, A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, and B = {4, 5, 6, 7}, then A È B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}.
