math set theory union

In any application of the theory of sets, the members of all sets under consideration usually belong to some fixed large set called the universal set. Usually we denote the universal set by the letter..

Two finite sets A and B are said to be equivalent sets if cardinality of both sets are equal i.e. n (A) = n (B..

The family of all subsets of any set S is called the power set of S. We denote the power set of S by P (S). If a set S is finite, say S has n elements, then the power set of S can be shown to have 2 n elemen..

Capital letters are usually used to denote or represent a set. viz., A, B, C, D, . . . . The elements of sets are usually represented by lower case letters. viz., a, b, c, x, y, . ..

Let U be a universal set, A be any subset of U, then the elements of U which are not in A i.e., U - A is the complement of A w.r.t. U is written as A' = U - A = A c ..

Example: - In a class of 80 boys, there are 60 boys who play rugby and 35 play tennis. Use Venn diagrams to show how many boys play both the games? How many play rugby only and how many play tennis onl..

A set is finite if it contains a specific number of elements. Otherwise, a set is an infinite set..

This method is also known as Property method. In this method, a set is represented by stating all the properties which are satisfied by the elements of the set and not by any other element. If A contains all values of 'x' for which the condition P(x) is true, then we write A = ..
