1. Use the Set-Roster Notation
a. Let X = {a, b, c}, Y = {a, c, b}, and Z = {a, b, b, c, c, c}. What are the elements of X, Y, and Z? How are X,
Y,and Z related?
X, Y and Z have exactly the same three elements (a,b,c). Therefore, X, Y and Z are simply
different ways to represent the same set.
b. How many elements are in the set {a,{a, b},{a}?
The set {a, {a, b}, {a} has two elements: a and the set whose only element is b.
c. For each positive integer x, let Ax = {x, x 2}. Find A1, a2 and A3.
A1={1,12}, A2 = {2,22}, A3={3,32}
2. Use the Set-Builder Notation
Given that R denotes the set of all real numbers, Z the set of all integers, and Z - the set of all negative
integers, describe each of the following sets.
{x ∈ R| − 5 < x < 1} is the open interval of real numbers between -2 and 5. It is pictured as follows.
a.
b. {x ∈ Z| − 5 < x < 1} is the set off all integers between -2 and 5. It is equal to the set {-4, -3, -2, -1, 0}
c. {x ∈ Z- | − 5 < x < 1} since all the integers in Z- are negative {x ∈ Z- | - 5< x < 1} = {-4, -3, -2, -1}.
3. Subsets
Let A = {2,{2}, (√2)2} , B = {2,{2},{{2}}} and C = {2}. Evaluate the truth and falsity of the following
statements.
a. A ⊆ B
False. For instance, (√2)² is in A but not in B.
b. B ⊆ A
True. For example, 2 is in both B and C.
c. A is a proper subset of B
True. Each element in A are all real numbers and hence in B, but there are elements in A that are
not in B. For instance, (√2)² is in A but not in B.
d. C ⊆ B
True. For example, 2 is in both C and in B.
e. C is a proper subset of A
False. The set of element in C is also in A. Thus, C is not a proper subset of A.
4. Let Y = {0, ,1,2} and Z = {0,1} and define a relation R from A to B as follows: Given any {x, y} ∈ Y x Z,
x+ y
(x, y) ∈ R means that is an integer.
2
0+0 0
(0,0) ∈ R because = = 0, which is an integer
2 2
0+1 1
(0,1) ∈ R because = , which is not an integer
2 2
1+ 0 1
(1,0) ∈ R because = , which is not an integer
2 2
1+ 1 2
(1,1) ∈ R because = = 1, which is an integer
2 2
2+ 0 2
(2,0) ∈ R because = = 1, which is an integer
2 2
2+ 1 3
(2,1) ∈ R because = , which is not an integer
2 2
a. State explicitly which ordered pairs are in Y x Z and which are in R.
R= { (0,0), (1,1), (2,0) }
b. Is 1 R 0? Is 2 R 0? Is 2 R 1?
No, 1 R 0 because (1,0) ∉ R
Yes, 2 R 0 because (2, 0) ∈ R
No, 2 R 1 because (2,1) ∉ R
c. What are the domain and co-domain of R?
The domain of R { 0, 1, 2}
Co-domain are { 0, 1}
5. Define relation C from R to R as follows: For any (x, y) ∈ R x R, (x, y) ∈ C means that x2+y2 = 4

a. Is (0,2) ∈ C? Is (−1, −1) ∈ C? Is ( ,
2 2 )∈ C? Is −2 C 1? Is (0 C 1)? Is −1 C 2?
Yes, (0, 2) ∈ C because 02+ 22 = 4
No, (-1,-1) ∈ C because -12+-12 ≠ 4
1 1 1 1 2 2 1
No, ( + ) ∈ C because ( )2+ ( )2 = + ¿ ≠4
2 2 2 2 4 4 2
No (-2, 1) ∈ C because (-2)2 + (1)2 = 4 + 1 = 5 ≠ 4
No (0, 1) ∈ C because (0)2 + (1)2 = 0 + 1= 1 ≠ 4
No, ( -1, 2) ∈ C because (-1)2 + (2)2 = 1+4 = 5 ≠ 4
b. What are the domain and co domain of C?
The domain ang co-domain of C are both R, the set of all real numbers.
c. Draw a graph for C by plotting the points of C in the Cartesian plane.
