The document focuses on the concept of sets in mathematics, addressing their definitions, operations, and relations, as well as the importance of classifying objects within these sets. It includes various exercises involving identification of sets, Venn diagrams, and descriptions using roster and set builder notations. Additionally, it touches on personal reflections regarding group belonging and its influence on personality development.

maximum of hatred for a minimum reason”

in a set?
When do we know if a set if null or
empty?
Why do we have to identify whether a
set is finite or infinite?
How do you think these terms can be

12.  The Roster Notation or Listing Method
This is a method of describing a set by listing
each element of the set inside the symbol { }. In
listing the elements of the set, each distinct
elements is listed once and the order of the
elements does not matter.
ex. Colors of the rainbow
R = {red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet}
[List the elements in Exploration # 2]

13.  The Set Builder Notation
It is a method that lists the rules that
determine whether an object is an element of the
set rather than the actual elements.
ex. All cities in the Philippines
A = {x| x is a city in the Philippines}
read as:
“A is the set of all x such that x is a city in the
Philippines.”

methods.
A. Write a verbal description for each of the
following sets:
1. D = {1, 3, 5, 7, . . . }
2. E = {a, b, c, . . . , z}
3. F = {4, 8, 12, 16, . . . , 96}
Answer:
1. The set of odd numbers.
2. The set of small letters in the English
alphabet.
3. The set of multiples of 4 between 0 and 100.

15.  Describe the following sets using the specified
methods.
B. List the elements of the following sets:
1. M = {x|x > 7, x is an odd integer}
2. A = {x|7 < x < 8, x is a counting number}
3. T = {x|x is a city in Metro Manila}
4. H = {x|x is a counting number between 7 and 10}
