8 Mini-Lecture 1. Sets and Other Basic Concepts Learning Objectives: 1. Identify sets.. Identify and use inequalities.. Use set builder notation.. Find the union and intersection of sets.. Identify important sets of numbers. 6. Key vocabulary: variable, constant, algebraic expression, set, elements, roster form, natural/counting numbers, integers, empty/null set, endpoints, set builder notation, union, intersection, whole numbers, rational numbers, irrational numbers, real numbers, subset Examples: 1. Using roster form, write the set of numbers consisting of the natural numbers that are less than or equal to 6.. Insert either < or > between the two numbers to make a true statement. a) b) 7 c) 8. a) List A = {x x is a natural number greater than } in roster form. b) Write B = {1,,,, } using set builder notation.. For A = {0,, 8, 1} and B = {0,,, 6}, find each of the following: a) A B b) A B. Consider the set of numbers 9, 7,, 8., 6,, 0, 6, π,, List the elements of the set that are: a) natural numbers b) whole numbers c) integers d) rational numbers e) irrational numbers f) real numbers Teaching Notes: Contrast the difference between expressions and equations. Point out that { } is not the empty set. Students often confuse the inequality symbols. Point out that the inequality symbol should always point towards the smaller number. Emphasize to students that for a number to be classified as a counting number, whole number, integer, etc., it only needs to be able to be written in the proper form, but it does not have to be in that form. For example, 10 is a whole number because it can be written as. Point out that if a rational number is written in decimal form, it will either terminate or repeat. If an irrational number is written in decimal form, it will neither terminate nor repeat.
