Math Problem Statement

Write each set in the indicated form. (a) Convert the roster form {2, 3, 4, 5, ...} into set-builder form. (b) Convert the set-builder form {y | y is an integer and -2 ≤ y ≤ 1} into roster form.

Solution

Let's tackle each part of the problem based on the provided image:

Part (a):

  • Roster form is given as: {2,3,4,5,}\{2, 3, 4, 5, \dots\}.

  • We need to write the Set-builder form.

    The pattern in the roster form shows that the elements of the set start from 2 and increase by 1 indefinitely. We can describe this set in set-builder notation as:

    {xx2 and xZ}\{x \mid x \geq 2 \text{ and } x \in \mathbb{Z}\} This means the set contains integers (xZx \in \mathbb{Z}) starting from 2 and going upwards.

Part (b):

  • Set-builder form is given as: {yy is an integer and 2y1}\{y \mid y \text{ is an integer and } -2 \leq y \leq 1\}.

  • We need to convert this into Roster form.

    The integers between 2-2 and 11 are: {2,1,0,1}\{-2, -1, 0, 1\}.

Thus, the answers are:

  1. (a) Set-builder form: {xx2 and xZ}\{x \mid x \geq 2 \text{ and } x \in \mathbb{Z}\}
  2. (b) Roster form: {2,1,0,1}\{-2, -1, 0, 1\}

Do you need further clarifications or details on these conversions?

Here are some follow-up questions:

  1. Can you explain how set-builder notation differs from roster form?
  2. How would you describe a set that includes only even numbers greater than 10 using set-builder form?
  3. What is the difference between natural numbers and integers in set notation?
  4. Can a set in roster form always be written in set-builder form?
  5. How would you represent the set of all integers less than 0 in roster form?

Tip: When writing sets in set-builder notation, always carefully define the conditions that describe all elements in the set.
