Summary

Roster Method

In this method a set is described by listing elements separated by commas within braces { }.

Set Builder Method

In this method a set is described by characterizing property P(x) of its element x.

• Cardinal number of a Finite Set
• Operation on Set

1. UNION OF SETS

Let A and B be the sets .The union of A and B is the set of all those elements which belong to A or to B or both A and B.

U B={x: x € A or x € B}.

2. INTERSECTION OF SETS

A ∩ B={x:x € A and x € B}

3. COMPLEMENT OF A SET

A’ ={x € U: x ∉A }

4. DISTRIBUTIVE LAWS

• A U (B ∩C)=(AUB)∩ (AUC)
• A ∩ (B UC)=(A ∩ B)U(A ∩ C)

Subjective
