Intervals

What are the following sets?

1 [2, 4] ∪ (2, 5) 2 [2, 4] ∩ (2, 5) 3 [π, e] 4 [0, 0] 5 (0, 0)

Similar sets

What are the following sets?

1 A = {x ∈ Z : x2 < 6} 2 B = {x ∈ N : x2 < 6} 3 C = {x ∈ R : x2 < 6}

Similar sets

What are the following sets?

1 A = {x ∈ Z : x2 < 6} 2 B = {x ∈ N : x2 < 6} 3 C = {x ∈ R : x2 < 6}

Can we list each set’s elements?

SLIDE 6

An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are on a trip in Scotland. At some point, they see a black sheep. The engineer exclaims: "In Scotland, sheep are black!" The physicist replies: "In Scotland, some sheep are black." The mathematician says: "In Scotland, there is at least one sheep that is black on at least one side."

The physicist replies: "In Scotland, some sheep are black." The mathematician says: "In Scotland, there is at least one sheep that is black on at least one side." Call S the set of all sheep in Scotland and B the set of all black sheep. Whose sentence is equivalent to which of the following?

1 ∃s ∈ S such that s ∈ B. 2 ∃s ∈ S such that s /

∈ B.

3 ∀s ∈ S, s ∈ B.

Describing a new set

An irrational number is a number that is real but not rational. C is the set of positive, rational numbers and negative, irrational numbers. Write a definition for C using only mathematical notation. (You may use the words “and", “or", and “such that".)

Sets and quantifiers

What are the following sets?

1 A = {x ∈ R : ∀y ∈ [0, 1], x < y} 2 B = {x ∈ R : ∃y ∈ [0, 1] s.t. x < y} 3 C = {x ∈ [0, 1] : ∀y ∈ [0, 1], x < y} 4 D = {x ∈ [0, 1] : ∃y ∈ [0, 1] s.t. x < y} 5 E = {x ∈ [0, 1] : ∃y ∈ R s.t. x < y} 6 F = {x ∈ [0, 1] : y ∈ R, x < y}
