Answer
Step 1: Understand the set builder form: x is an even natural number AND x < 11. Step 2: List even natural numbers less than 11: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. Step 3: Write in listing method with curly brackets. An…
Express in set builder form: B = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18}
Answer
Step 1: Observe the pattern in the listing: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18. Step 2: Find the relationship: Each number is a multiple of 3. Step 3: Find the limits: smallest is 3, largest is 18. Step 4: Write in …
What is the difference between a finite set and an infinite set? Provide one example of each.
Answer
Finite Set: A set is finite if it has a fixed, countable number of elements (including empty sets and null sets). The number of elements can be determined. Infinite Set: A set is infinite if it has an…
Identify the type of set and find n(A): A = {x | x ∈ N, x² = 49}
Answer
Step 1: Solve x² = 49 for natural numbers. Step 2: x = ±7, but since x must be a natural number (positive), x = 7. Step 3: The set contains only one element: A = {7}. Step 4: Identify type: This is a …
Is the following set empty? Why? B = {x | x ∈ N, 2x + 3 = 7}
Answer
Step 1: Solve 2x + 3 = 7. Step 2: 2x = 4 → x = 2. Step 3: Check if x = 2 is a natural number. Yes, 2 ∈ N. Step 4: Therefore, B = {2}, not an empty set. Answer: NO, this is not an empty set. n(B) = 1, …
Which of these is an empty set? Explain: (i) C = {x | x < 0, x ∈ N} (ii) D = {x | x is a natural number between 2 and 3}
Answer
Analyzing (i): C = {x | x < 0, x ∈ N}. Natural numbers are {1, 2, 3, ...}, all positive. No natural number is less than 0. Therefore, C = φ (empty set). Analyzing (ii): D = {x | x is a natural number …
