HOW TO WRITE

SETS?
THREE KINDS TO WRITE SETS:

a. List the member of sets

b. Describe the sets in words

c. Notation
EXAMPLE:

List the member of sets

A = {1,3,5,7,9}

Describe the sets in words

A = {the first five odd numbers}

Notation
A = {x| x < 10, x odd numbers}
A = {x| x 9, x odd numbers}
EXAMPLE:

List the member of sets

A = {2,4,6,8,10}

Describe the sets in words

A = {The first five of even numbers}

Notation
A = {x | x < 11, x even numbers}
or
A = {x | x 10, x even numbers}
ACTIVITY

List the members of these sets.

a. {factor of 6} = {1,2,3,6}

b. {factor of 12} = {1,2,3,4,6,12}

c. {prime numbers between 70 and 80} = {71, 73, 79}
