PROBLEM SOLVING.
A. SET. Let A, B and C are sets and U be universal set.
U = {-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, a, b, c, d, e}
A = {-1, 1, 2, 4}
B = {0, 2, 4, 6}
C = {b, c, d}
Find for the following. Show complete solutions.
1. 𝐵 ∪ 𝐶
2. 𝐴 − 𝐵 𝑥 𝐶
3. 𝑃𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑠𝑒𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝐶
4. |𝑃(𝐵)|
B. SEQUENCES. Consider the sequence {Sn} defined by Sn = 2n – 5, where 𝒏 ≥ −𝟏.
Find for:
1. ∑1𝑖=−1 𝑆𝑖 (5 pts)
C. RELATION. Consider X = {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1} defined by (x,y) ∈ R if x ≥ y.
Find for:
1. Elements of R
2. Domain and Range of R
3. Draw the digraph
4. Identify the properties of R
Solution:
(A):
U = {-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, a, b, c, d, e}
A = {-1, 1, 2, 4}
B = {0, 2, 4, 6}
C = {b, c, d}
1. 𝐵 ∪ 𝐶 = {0, 2, 4, 6, b, c, d}
2.
Now,
3. 𝑃𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑠𝑒𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝐶
4. |𝑃(𝐵)| , where n is the number of elements in set B.
(B):
(C):
Consider X = {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1} defined by (x,y) ∈ R if x ≥ y.
1.
2. Domain of R
And range of R
3. Digraph of R:
4.
Reflexive:
It is clearly reflexive as
Symmetric:
It is clearly not symmetric as but is not true,
Moreover, but
Transitive:
which is true
Hence, it is transitive.
