Math Problem Statement
Give one examples not drawn from the class notes of each of the following sets: (i) A Well Defined set (ii) A Property Defined set (iii) An infinite set (iv) A countably infinite set (v) Non Comparable Sets (vi) Non Disjoint Sets
Solution
Here are examples for each type of set:
(i) A Well-Defined Set
A set where its elements are clearly defined and there's no ambiguity in determining whether an object belongs to the set.
Example:
The set of all planets in the Solar System.
Notation:
(ii) A Property-Defined Set
A set defined using a specific property or condition.
Example:
The set of all even integers greater than 10.
Notation:
(iii) An Infinite Set
A set with an unbounded number of elements.
Example:
The set of all integers.
Notation:
(iv) A Countably Infinite Set
An infinite set whose elements can be put into a one-to-one correspondence with the natural numbers.
Example:
The set of all rational numbers (fractions).
Notation:
(v) Non-Comparable Sets
Two sets that are neither subsets nor supersets of each other.
Example:
and .
Here, and are non-comparable because they share no elements.
(vi) Non-Disjoint Sets
Two sets that have at least one element in common.
Example:
and .
Here, , so they are non-disjoint.
