                              SETS

     A set is a collection of well defined objects which are distinct from each other. Sets are generally
       denoted by     capital letters A, B, C, ........ etc. and the elements of the set by small letters a, b, c
             ....... etc.
             If a is an element of a set A, then we write a  A and say a belongs to A.
             If a does not belong to A then we write a A,
         e.g. the collection of first five prime natural numbers is a set containing the elements 2, 3, 5, 7, 11.

METHODS TO WRITE A SET :

           (i)     Roster Method or Tabular Method : In this method a set is described by listing elements,
               separated by commas and enclose then by curly brackets. Note that while writing the set in
                 roster form, an element is not generally repeated  e.g. the set of letters of word SCHOOL may
             be written as {S, C, H, O, L}.

            (ii)     Set builder form (Property Method) :  In this we write down a property or rule which gives us
                      all the element of the set.
           A = {x : P(x)} where P(x) is the property by which x  A and colon ( : ) stands for ‘such that’
Example # 1 : Express set A = {x : x  N and x = 2n for n  N} in roster form
Solution :     A = {2, 4, 8, 16, .........}

Example # 2 : Express set B = {x3 : x < 5, x  W} in roster form
Solution :    B = {0, 1, 8, 27, 64}

Example # 3 : Express set A = {0, 7, 26, 63, 124} in set builder form
Solution :    A = {x : x = n3 – 1, nN, 1  n  5}

TYPES OF SETS

        Null set or empty set : A set having no element in it is called an empty set or a null set or void set, it is
       denoted by  or { }. A set consisting of at least one element is called a non-empty set or a non-void set.

       Singleton set : A set consisting of a single element is called a singleton set.

        Finite set : A set which has only finite number of elements is called a finite set.

       Order of a finite set : The number of distinct elements in a finite set A is called the order of this set
       and denoted by O(A) or n(A). It is also called cardinal number of the set.
         e.g. A = {a, b, c, d}            n(A) = 4

         Infinite set : A set which has an infinite number of elements is called an infinite set.

       Equal sets : Two sets A and B are said to be equal if every element of A is member of B, and every
       element of B is a member of A. If sets A and B are equal, we write A = B and if A and B are not equal
       then
     A  B

       Equivalent sets : Two finite sets A and B are equivalent if their cardinal number is same
           i.e. n(A) = n(B)
         e.g.   A = {1, 3, 5, 7}, B = {a, b, c, d}       n(A) = 4 and n(B) = 4      
       A and B are equivalent sets

Note -  Equal sets are always equivalent but equivalent sets may not be equal



                                                                                     ADVFOMI-1

Example # 4 :  Identify the type of set :
                        (i)    A = {x  W : 3  x < 10}              (ii)    A = {}
                           (iii)    A = {1, 0, –1, –2, –3,.......}        (iv)   A = {1, 8, –2, 6, 5} and B = {1, 8, –2, 6, 5}
                   (v)    A = {x : x is number of students in a class room}

                           (iii)      infinite set                             (iv)     equal sets
                   (v)      singleton set

Self Practice Problem :
         (1)     Write the set of all integers 'x' such that –2 < x – 4 < 5.
         (2)     Write the set {1, 2, 5, 10} in set builder form.
         (3)         If A = {x : x2 < 9, x  Z} and B = {–2, –1, 1, 2} then find whether sets A and B are equal or not.
      Answers       (1)      {3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
                           (2)      {x : x is a natural number and a divisor of 10}
                           (3)     Not equal sets

SUBSET AND SUPERSET :
        Let A and B be two sets. If every element of A is an element of B then A is called a subset of B and B is
        called superset of A. We write it as A  B.
         e.g.   A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}       A  B
             If A is not a subset of B then we write A B

PROPER SUBSET :
             If A is a subset of B but A  B then A is a proper subset of B. Set A is not proper subset of A so this is
       improper subset of A

Note :   (i)     Every set is a subset of itself
             (ii)    Empty set  is a subset of every set
              (iii)   A  B and B  A  A = B
          (iv)    The total number of subsets of a finite set containing n elements is 2n.
         (v)    Number of proper subsets of a set having n elements is 2n – 1.
          (vi)    Empty set  is proper subset of every set except itself.

POWER SET :
        Let A be any set. The set of all subsets of A is called power set of A and is denoted by P(A)


Example # 5 : Examine whether the following statements are true or false :
                        (i)       {a} {b, c, a}
                          (ii)       {x, p}  {x : x is a consonant in the English alphabet}
                           (iii)      {}  {}
                     (iv)      {a, b} {a, {a}, b, c}
Solution :         (i)      False as {a} is subset of {b, c, a}
                          (ii)     False as x, p are consonant
                           (iii)     False as element ,  is not in the set {}
                     (iv)     False as a, b {a, {a}, b, c} and {a, b}  {a, {a}, b, c}


Example # 6 : Find power set of set A = {1, 2, 3}
Solution :      P(A) = {, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {1, 2, 3}}






                                                                                     ADVFOMI-2

Example # 7 : If  denotes null set then find
                  (a)     P()                               (b)     P(P())
                  (c)     n(P(P(P())))                     (d)     n(P(P(P(P()))))

      Answers       (4)     False            (5)     True             (6)     True

UNIVERSAL SET :
     A set consisting of all possible elements which occur in the discussion is called a universal set and is
       denoted by U.
         e.g.  if A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {2, 4, 5, 6}, C = {1, 3, 5, 7} then U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} can be taken as the
        universal set.

SOME OPERATION ON SETS :
           (i)     Union of two sets : A  B = {x : x  A or x  B}
                 e.g. A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {2, 3, 4} then A  B = {1, 2, 3, 4}
            (ii)     Intersection of two sets : A  B = {x : x  A and x  B}
                 e.g. A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {2, 3, 4} then A  B = {2, 3}
            (iii)    Difference of two sets : A – B = {x : x  A and x  B}. It is also written as A B'.
                 Similarly B – A = B  A'         e.g. A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {2, 3, 4} ; A – B = {1}
          (iv)    Symmetric difference of sets : It is denoted by A  B and A  B = (A – B)  (B – A)
         (v)    Complement of a set : A' = {x : x  A but x  U} = U – A
                 e.g. U = {1, 2,........, 10}, A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} then A' = {6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
          (vi)     Disjoint sets : If A  B = , then A, B are disjoint sets.
                 e.g. If A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {7, 8, 9} then A  B = 


VENN DIAGRAM :
       Most of the relationships between sets can be represented by means of diagrams which are known as
       venn diagrams. These diagrams consist of a rectangle for universal set and circles in the rectangle for
       subsets of universal set. The elements of the sets are written in respective circles.
       For example If A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {3, 4, 5}, U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} then their venn diagram is





        A  B           A  B             A – B            B – A



             A'                  (A B) = (A – B) (B – A)       Disjoint


                                                                                     ADVFOMI-3

Example # 12 : In a group of 60 students, 36 read English newspaper, 22 read Hindi newspaper and 12 read
                 neither of the two. How many read both English & Hindi news papers ?

                n(E  H) = 12  n(E  H) = 12

Intervals :

         Intervals are basically subsets of R and are commonly used in solving inequalities or in finding
       domains. If there are two numbers a, b  R such that a < b, we can define four types of intervals as
        follows :


             Name          Representation                               Discription

            Open Interval               (a, b)        {x : a < x < b} i.e. end points are not included.
                                                            {x : a  x  b} i.e. end points are also included. This is possible only when
               Close Interval                [a, b]       both a and b are finite.

         Open - Closed Interval          (a, b]        {x : a < x  b} i.e. a is excluded and b is included.

           Close - Open Interval            [a, b)        {x : ax < b} i.e. a is included and b is excluded.

      Note :  (1)    The infinite intervals are defined as follows :
                                     (i)       (a, ) = {x : x > a}                                     (ii)       [a, ) = {x : x  a}
                                         (iii)     (– , b) = {x : x < b}                           (iv)     (–, b] = {x : x  b}
                            (v)     (– ) = {x : x  R}
                  (2)     x  {1, 2} denotes some particular values of x, i.e. x = 1, 2
                  (3)         If there is no value of x, then we say x          (null set)

General Method to solve Inequalities :
      (Method of intervals (Wavy curve method)

                                                  1                                                                 2                                                                                        n                            (x – b1 )k                                 (x – b 2 )k                            (x – bn )k        Let     g(x) =                                                 ...

      Where k1, k2 .....kn and r1, r2 ........rn  N and b1, b2.....bn and a1, a2 ......an are real numbers.
      Then to solve the inequality following steps are taken.

Steps : -
        Points where numerator becomes zero are called zeros or roots of the function and where denominator
      becomes zero are called poles of the function.

            (i)       First we find the zeros and poles of the function.

             (ii)    Then we mark all the zeros and poles on the real line and put a vertical bar there
                 dividing the real line in many intervals.

              (iii)    Determine sign of the function in any of the interval and then alternates the sign
                   in the neghbouring interval if the poles or zeros dividing the two interval has
              appeared odd number of times otherwise retain the sign.

          (iv)    Thus we consider all the intervals. The solution of the g(x) > 0 is the union of the
                 intervals in which we have put the plus sign and the solution of g(x) < 0 is the
               union of all intervals in whichwe have put the minus sign.
                                                                            5

Exponential Function
           A function f(x) = ax = ex In a (a > 0, a  1, x  R) is called an exponential function. Graph of
                exponential function can be as follows :

            Case -                               Case - 
             For a > 1                                 For 0 < a 1





Logarithm of A Number :

      The logarithm of the number N to the base ' a ' is the exponent indicating the power to which the base ' a
                   ' must be raised to obtain the number N. This number is designated as loga N. Hence:
logaN = x  ax = N , a > 0, a  1 & N > 0

             If a = 10, then we write log b rather than log10 b.
             If a = e, we write ln b rather than loge b. Here ' e ' is called as Napier's base & has numerical value equal
         to 2.7182.

      Remember

         log102 ~ 0.3010                           ;        log103 ~ 0.4771

Domain of Definition :

      The existence and uniqueness of the number loga N can be determined with the help of set of
        conditions, a > 0 & a  1 & N > 0.

      The base of the logarithm  ' a ' must not equal unity otherwise numbers not equal to unity will not have a
        logarithm and any number will be the logarithm of unity.

Graph of Logarithmic function :
          f(x) = logax is called logarithmic function where a > 0 and a  1 and x > 0. Its graph can be as follows:

                    Case- I                                   Case- II
