Math Problem Statement

Use set-builder notation to write the following set. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}

Solution

The set {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12}\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12\} can be written in set-builder notation as:

{xxZ,1x12}\{ x \mid x \in \mathbb{Z}, 1 \leq x \leq 12 \}

This describes the set of integers xx such that xx is between 1 and 12, inclusive.

Here are 5 related questions to consider:

  1. How can set-builder notation be used to describe more complex sets?
  2. What is the difference between set-builder and interval notation?
  3. How would you describe a set of even numbers within this range in set-builder notation?
  4. Can set-builder notation be used to represent an infinite set?
  5. How do you denote a set that excludes specific values using set-builder notation?

Tip: When using set-builder notation, always clearly define the condition that elements must satisfy.
