Lesson objective

Define a Set and Write a Set Using Different Ways.

There are three common ways to designate sets:

• The list or roster method

• The descriptive method

• Set-Builder Notation

Multiple Choice

A ............................................ : is a collection of objects. A = { 1, 2, 3, … }.

• Set

• Element

• Variable

• Cardinality

Multiple Choice

A ............................................ : Each object in a set.

• Set

• Element

• Variable

• Cardinality

Multiple Choice

One method of designating a set, in which elements are listed between braces, with commas between the elements. The order in which we list elements isn’t important. Name sets by using a capital letter.

A = { 1, 2, 3, … }.

• Roster Method

• Descriptive Method

• Set-Builder Notation

Multiple Choice

One method of designating a set, in which we use a short verbal statement to describe the set.

• Roster Method

• Descriptive Method

• Set-Builder Notation

Multiple Choice

One method of designating a set, in which we use variables, braces and a vertical bar | that is read as “such that.”.

A = { x | x ∈ N and x < 7 }

• Roster Method

• Descriptive Method

• Set-Builder Notation

Multiple Choice

Decide whether the statement is True or False.

21 ∈ {2, 5, 8, 11, ... }.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

Decide whether the statement is True or False.
