Unit set
D = { x|x is a whole number greater than 4 but less than 6 }
Empty set
F = { x|x is a whole number greater than 4 but less than 5 }
Universal set
U = {x|x is a positive integer, 𝑥 3 = 8}

SUBSETS AND COUNTING
Given: F = { a, e, i, o, u }
There are 5 elements in set F and
can be written as n(F) or n(F) = 5.
The number of elements or members
in the set is called cardinal number.

SUBSETS AND COUNTING
Given: F = { a, b, c, d, e}
G = { a, e }
The set G is a subset of the set F
since every element of G is an element
of F.
G⊂F ( G is a proper subset of F)

GIVEN:
U = {whole numbers from 1 to 6}
U = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }
Y = {x|x is a factor of 6}
Y = { 1, 2, 3, 6}
Z = { 1, 3, 5}

GIVEN: U = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }
Y = { 1, 2, 3, 6}
Z = { 1, 3, 5}
Find Y⋃Z
⋃ - union of two sets, for instance, sets A and B…
defined to be the elements that belong to A or to B
to be read as “ Y union Z”
to write as Y⋃Z = {1,2,3,5,6}

GIVEN: U = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }
Y = { 1, 2, 3, 6}
Z = { 1, 3, 5}
Find Y⋂Z
⋂ - intersection of two sets, for instance, sets A and B…
defined to be the elements that belong to both A and B
to be read as “ Y intersection Z”
to write as Y⋂Z = {1,3}
