Subsets of the set R of real numbers Following sets are important subsets of the set R of all real numbers: (i) The set of all natural numbers N = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,…. } (u) The set of all integers Z = { … – 3, – 2, -1,…
Disjoint sets Two sets A and B are said to be disjoint, if A∩B=Φ. If A∩B≠Φ, then A and B are said to be intersecting or overlapping sets As shown in Fig(vi) Fig(vi) Example If A={ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }, B={ 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 } and C= { 6, 8, 10,…
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…
Domain of relation Let R be a relation from a set A to a set B. Then the of all first components or coordinates of the ordered pairs belonging to R is called the domain of R. Thus, domain of R = { a : (a, b) ∈ R} Clearly, domain of R ⊆ A…
Complement of a set Let U be the universal set and let A be a set such that A ⊂ U. Then the complement of A with respect to U is denoted by A’ or Ac or U-A and is defined the set of all those elements of U which are not in A. Thus…
State, path and process State A state is condition of system and is specified by its properties. At a given state all the properties of a system have definite values Path Change of state of a system is the consequence of any operation in which properties will change. The series of states through which system…
