Power set Let A be a set. Then the collection or family of all subsets of A is called the power set of A and is denoted by P(A). That is. P(A) = { S : S ⊂ A }. Since the empty set and the set A itself are subsets of A and are…
Semi-Open or Semi-Closed interval If a and b are two real numbers such that a < b, then the sets (a, b] = { x : x ∈ R, a < x ≤ b} and [a, b)={ x 😡 ∈ R, a ≤ x < b are known as semi-open or semi-closed intervals . (a,…
Function as a correspondence Let A and B be two non-empty sets. Then a function ‘f ‘ from set A to set B is a rule or method or correspondence which associates elements of set A to elements of set B such that: Fig. 2(a) (i) all elements of set A are associated to…
Ideal gases The term gas is applied to a particular phase of a pure substance which will fills the system boundary, and no change of phase takes place or is contemplated. They always exist in gaseous form. For this reason, they have been called permanent gases. Perfect…
Laws of algebra of set THEOREM 1 (Idempotent Laws) For any set A (i) A ∪ A = A (ii) A ∩ A = A PROOF (i) A ∪ A= { x : x ∈ A or x ∈ A} ={x : x ∈ A} = A (ii) A ∩ A = {x : x…
Venn diagrams The diagram drawn to represent sets are called Venn-diagram. In Venn-diagram the universal set U is represented by points within the rectangle and its subsets are represented points in closed curves (usually circles) within the rectangle. If a set A is a subset of a set B, then the circles representing A is…
