Math Problem Statement
Write down all the members of the following sets: (i) A = {x ∈ Z : 0 ≤ x < 7}, (ii) B = {x ∈ Z : -1 < x ≤ 2}, (iii) C = {x ∈ Z : x = -(-1)^n + 1 for some integer n}, (iv) D = {x ∈ Z : -2 < x < 4}
Solution
Let's go through the sets one by one and list all their members.
-
Set A:
- This set includes all integers such that .
- The members of set are: .
-
Set B:
- This set includes all integers such that .
- The members of set are: .
-
Set C:
- This set involves the formula where is an integer. We can find the values of by substituting values of :
- When :
- When :
- When : (Repeats, so cycle continues)
- Therefore, the members of set are: .
- This set involves the formula where is an integer. We can find the values of by substituting values of :
-
Set D:
- This set includes all integers such that .
- The members of set are: .
Let me know if you need further details or explanations. Here are some related questions you might want to explore:
- How can you determine the range of a set if given different inequalities?
- What happens if you change the boundaries in the set definitions (e.g., from closed intervals to open intervals)?
- How would set change if you adjusted the formula slightly?
- Can you represent any of these sets using a union or intersection of other sets?
- What are the general properties of the integers that belong to set ?
Tip: When dealing with set definitions involving formulas, start by plugging in small integer values to identify patterns or cycles.
