Math Problem Statement

Find the complement of the set given that U = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) {x | x is in N and x < 7}

Solution

To find the complement of a set, we need to subtract the given set from the universal set UU. The universal set is:

U={0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}U = \{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\}

The set given is: A={xx is in N and x<7}A = \{x \mid x \text{ is in } \mathbb{N} \text{ and } x < 7\} So, the set AA contains: A={0,1,2,3,4,5,6}A = \{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}

To find the complement of AA (denoted as AcA^c), we subtract AA from UU, which gives us the elements that are in UU but not in AA: Ac=UA={7,8,9,10}A^c = U - A = \{7, 8, 9, 10\}

So, the complement of the set is: Ac={7,8,9,10}A^c = \{7, 8, 9, 10\}

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. What is the definition of the complement of a set?
  2. How would you find the complement if the universal set were infinite?
  3. What is the union of a set and its complement?
  4. How would you represent the complement using Venn diagrams?
  5. How does the complement change if the universal set changes?

Tip: The complement of a set always contains elements from the universal set that are not in the original set.
