Math Problem Statement

Write each set in the indicated form. Convert between roster form and set-builder form, showing at least four elements if the set is infinite.

Solution

Let's solve the two parts of the problem shown in the image:


(a) Convert Roster Form to Set-Builder Form:

Given Roster form:
{1,0,1,2,3}\{-1, 0, 1, 2, 3\}

We need to convert it to Set-Builder form.

Solution:

  • This is a small set with consecutive integers from 1-1 to 33.
  • In set-builder notation, it can be written as:

{xxZ,1x3}\{x \mid x \in \mathbb{Z}, -1 \leq x \leq 3\}

Explanation:

  • \mid means "such that."
  • xZx \in \mathbb{Z} ensures that only integers are included.
  • The condition 1x3-1 \leq x \leq 3 restricts the integers to the given range.

(b) Convert Set-Builder Form to Roster Form:

Given Set-Builder form:
{yy is an integer and y3}\{y \mid y \text{ is an integer and } y \geq -3\}

Solution:

  • The set contains all integers greater than or equal to 3-3.
  • In Roster form, this set starts from 3-3 and continues indefinitely. Listing the first few elements:

{3,2,1,0,1,2,}\{-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, \dots\}

Tip:
In set-builder notation, always include the type of elements (like integers or real numbers) to avoid ambiguity.
