Math Assignment

The document outlines methods for designating the set P, which includes the prime numbers 17, 19, 23, 29, and 31, using roster, descriptive, and set-builder notation. It also provides examples of rewriting sets B and G in different notations, emphasizing the infinite nature of set G. Additionally, it lists all subsets of the set B = {a, b, c, d}.

(1) Using the methods below, designate the set P with elements 17, 19, 23, 29,

and 31

(a) Roster Method


P = {17, 19, 23, 29, 31}

(b) Descriptive Method


- The set P contains elements 17, 19, 23, 29, and 31. The elements of P are
prime numbers greater than 15 and less than 32.

(c) Set-builder Notation


P = {x | x is a prime number and 17 ≤ x ≤ 31}
This is read as: “P is the set of all elements x such that x is a prime number
and x is between 17 and 31”

(2) Rewrite the following in terms of the other methods.


(a) B = {x | x is an integer, x > 0}
1. Roster Method
- B = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 …}
2. Descriptive Method
- B is a set of elements that are greater than 0.
3. Set-Builder Notation
- B = {x | x is an integer, x > 0}
This is read as: “B is a set of elements x such that x is an
integer greater than 0.”

(b) G = {z | z is a point on a line}


1. Roster Method
- B = {-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 …}
(This set contains an infinite and uncountable number of
elements, so the roster method cannot be used properly)
2. Descriptive Method
- G is the set of all points on a line.
3. Set-Builder Notation
- G = {z | z is a point on a line}
This is read as: “G is a set of elements z such that z is a point
on a line.”
Empty set is a subset of any SETS

find all the subsets of B = {a,b,c,d}

B = { { }, {a}, {b}, {c}, {d}, {a,b}, {a,c}, {a,d}, {b,c}, {b,d}, {c,d}, {a,b,c},
{a,b,d}, {a,c,d}, {b,d,c}, {a,b,c,d} }
