Be able to state, using set listing notation, different sets of numbers.
Please help ASAP I don't understand this question at all!! :(

Answer:

Set notation is given by

[tex]{\bf X}= \{{\bf setofallelements\}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A set  is a collection of things. The objects in the set are called the elements, and they are expressed within  in  curly braces.

Let X be the set and is notated by

ie, [tex]X=\{set of all elements\}[/tex]

For example  if  we list the elements of "the set of things on my alphabets , the set can be in the form

[tex] \{ a,b,c,...,z\}[/tex]

Sets are usually notated using capital letters. So let the  set be "A". Then we have:  

[tex]A = \{a,b,c,...,z \}[/tex]

If the sets are unordered, which means that the elements in the set have not to be listed in order. The set above mentioned can be easily  written as:

[tex]A = \{ a,c u,d,...,i \}[/tex]

To say that any element is an element of a set. . For example, to say that "d is an element of the set A", we would write the following:

d ∈A

This is pronounced as "d is an element of A".

There are the symbols to use:

N : the set of all natural numbers ,Z : the set of all integers

,Q : the set of all rationals ,R : the set of all real numbers.

Sets can be related to each other. If one set contains another set  is called a subset.

Suppose [tex]A=\{ 1, 2, 3 \}[/tex] and

[tex]B = \{ 1, 3, 4, 6 \}[/tex]. Then A is a subset of B, since everything in A is also in B. Therfore it can be written as:

A ⊂B

it is pronounced as "is a subset of"or A contains B

To show something is not a subset   

B is not a subset of A  ie, B⊄A  and is pronounced as "B is not a subset of A" or B not contains A

Combination of two sets  is called the union  sets, and is notated by a large U-type symbol. If we only taking common elements from two sets, then it is called the intersection  sets, and is notated  by upside-down U-type symbol. So if

[tex]C = \{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 \}[/tex] and [tex]D = \{ 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 \}[/tex], then:

C \cup D =\, [tex]{C \bigcup D}= \{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 \}[/tex]  

C \cap D = \, [tex]{C \bigcap D}= \{ 4, 5, 6 \}[/tex]

These are pronounced as "C union D equals..." and "C intersect D equals...", respectively.
