What is It
Here in mathematics, we have been working along with sets in different ways
like the set of real numbers, such as the set of rational numbers and the set of irrational
numbers. But keep in mind that, set does not always compose of numbers. It may also
be a set of many things around us like the set of different people, different shapes, and
different objects, and many more. Here, you will learn to study more closely the basic
concept of sets.

Any collection of objects is known as set. In Mathematics, it is defined as, “set

is a collection of well-defined distinct objects”.

Language of Sets:

The object in a set can be anything such as numbers, letters, symbols,

names, or any objects. Each object in a set is called a member or an element.

The name of the set is usually denoted by any letters on the alphabet
and usually written in capital letters like A, B, C, …, X, Y or Z. The use of braces,
{ }, symbolizes the grouping of the elements of a set, it means “the set whose
elements are”. For example, A = {a, b, c, d} is read as “A is a set whose
elements are a, b, c, and d”.

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

 There are two ways to describe sets; the roster method and the
descriptive method.
1. ROSTER METHOD (Listing Method)
A = {Marikina Sports Center, Riverbanks Mall, Marikina Hotel}
B = {Concepcion Uno, Concepcion Dos, Fortune, Marikina Heights,
Parang, Nangka, Tumana}

2. DESCRIPTIVE METHOD (Describing Method)

a. A is a set of establishments in Marikina City.
In set-builder notation it is written as:
A = {𝑥 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑛 𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑠ℎ𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑎 𝐶𝑖𝑡𝑦 }

It is read as “A is a set of all x’s such that x is an establishment in Marikina

City”.
b. B is a set of barangays in District II in Marikina City.
In set-builder notation it is written as:
B = {𝑥 𝑖𝑠 𝑎 𝑏𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑎𝑦 𝑖𝑛 𝐷𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑡 𝐼𝐼 𝑖𝑛 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑎 𝐶𝑖𝑡𝑦 }

It is read as “B is the set of all x’s such that x is a barangay in District II in

Marikina City”.
Note that a SET-BUILDER NOTATION is the modification of the two
methods.
In using the roster method, the elements are listed, separated by a
comma, and used when the set contains a minimal number of elements.
However, in using set-builder notation, a set is defined by stating the property
that describes the elements of the set and commonly used for many elements.

Example 1. Write each set using roster method

a. Distinct letters in the word MATHEMATICS

b. Colors in Philippine Flag
Solution: a. {M, A, T, H, E, I, C, S}
Notice that when listing the elements of a set, identical elements are
listed once and not repeated.

b. {red, blue, yellow, white}

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

Example 2. Write each set using set-builder notation

a. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20}
b. {January, June, July}

Solution: a. {𝑥 𝑖𝑠 𝑎 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 0 𝑎𝑛𝑑 21}

b. {𝑥 𝑖𝑠 𝑎 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑡ℎ 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝐽}

The Elements of a Set:

Suppose the set of students who were born in the year of 2007 is named
set A. Jasper was born in June 2007, therefore “Jasper ∈ A”. It means that
Jasper is an element of set A. Marvin was born in February 2006, therefore
“Marvin ∉ A”, which means that Marvin, is not an element of set A.

The symbol ∈ means “is an element of” and ∉ mean “is not an element of”.

Jessica ∈ B reads “Jessica is an element of B”.

Jessica ∉ B reads “Jessica is not an element of B”.

A set with no members is called the empty set or null set. Both of the symbol

{ } and ∅ means “the empty set”.

Example 3. If C = {Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Numbers}

Tell if the following is true or false.

a. Leviticus ∈ C b. Matthew ∉ C c. Numbers ∈ C
Solution:

a. TRUE because it means that Leviticus is an element of set C.

b. TRUE because it means that Matthew is not an element of set C.
c. TRUE because it means that Numbers is an element of set C.
Well-defined and Not well-defined Set:

When the elements of a set can be readily determined, the set is said to
be well-defined otherwise, not well-defined. For example, if we are interested
in "barangays in Marikina" or in "high schools in District II of Marikina", we
exactly know if an element belongs to the set or not. These are well-defined
sets. There are some situations in set-builder notation where it is difficult to
determine whether the object belongs to the set. For example, a set of
6

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

"handsome boys in the country" it might be difficult to determine if a boy belongs
to the set since we all have different standards in determining whether the boy
is handsome or not. Since beauty is subjective, the set "handsome boys in the
country" is not well-defined.
Example 4. State whether the set is well-defined or not.

1. {subject in Grade 7}
2. {popular singer}
Solution:

1. Well-defined, because it is clear that the subject is taught in

Grade7.
2. Not well-defined, because people may consider some singers
as popular some may not.

The Cardinality of Sets:

The cardinality of a set is a measure of the "number of elements" of

the set.
Set X = {days in a week}

X = {Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday}

Set X has seven elements therefore, the cardinality of set X is 7.
In symbols, n(X) = 7.
Set may be described as finite or infinite. In the above example, set X
contains a definite number of different elements. This set is described as a
finite set. If the set is not finite or the elements are not countable, it is said to
be infinite set.

Example 5. Tell whether the set is a finite set or an infinite set.

1. The set of counting numbers greater than 1.

2. The set of a whole number less than 10.
3. The set of numbers greater that -1 but less than 1.
7

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

Solution:

1. Infinite set because the elements are 2, 3, 4, 5, … .

2. Finite set because the elements are 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0.
3. Finite set because the element is 0.

The Universal Sets and Subsets:

The universal set is a set that contains all objects under consideration,
or it contains all elements being considered in the given situation and it is
denoted by U.

The set of numbers in the cards above is considered as the universal set.

U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
The other sets are described as follows:
A = {2, 4}
B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
C = {3, 6, 9}
Notice that elements in set A are also found in set B. If all the elements
of set A are also elements of set B, then A is a subset of B. Their relationship
can be written in the symbol as A ⊆ B which read as “A is a subset of B” or “A
is contained in B”.
Example 6. Consider the following sets.

X = {books in the Bible} Y = {books in the Old Testament}

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

 Since every book in the Old Testament is also a book in the Bible,
therefore Y is a subset of X. Set Y is a subset of set X if every element of X is
also an element of Y.
Are all the elements in set X also the elements in set Y? The answer is
not all because there are elements in set X which are included in the New
Testament books but not included in set Y. Therefore, set X is not a subset of
set Y. The symbol ⊈ means “is not a subset of”, so X ⊈ Y.

Every set is a subset of itself. Therefore, X ⊆ X. Empty set is a subset

of every set, ∅ ⊆ X or { } ⊆ X.

encircle the different parts.

❖ How many parts you spotted

differently?

❖ Is it easy to spot their differences?

❖ What is/are common part/s between

the two?

What is It

Analene and Jessica were asked to list their top 3 hobbies. Analene
likes dancing, singing, and reading, while Jessica likes watching, singing, and
reading.

Intersection and Union

In the given situation both Analene and Jessica like singing and reading.

If set X represents Analene’s liking and set Y represents Jessica’s liking, then
13

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

singing and reading represents the intersection of sets X and Y which is

denoted by X ⋂ Y.

The intersection of sets X and Y, denoted by X ⋂ Y, is a set containing

the members or elements that can be found in both sets X and Y.

The symbol ⋂ means “Intersection”.

Therefore, the intersection of X and Y can be written in the form

X ⋂ Y = {reading, singing}

The intersection of sets X and Y can be represented

using a Venn diagram. The diagram on the right
shows that singing and reading belongs to both sets
X and Y.

If sets X and Y have no common

member or element, then X ⋂ Y = { }, we can

say that X and Y are disjoint sets. Sets X and

Y are said to be disjoint if and only if no
elements of Set X are in Set Y.

Example 1. Find the intersection of sets A and B.

A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}

Solution:

2, 4, and 6 are both in sets A and B

therefore,

(A ⋂ B) = {2, 4, 6}

14

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

Example 2. Find the intersection of C and D.

C = {m, a, t, h} D = {e, n, g}
Solution:

There are no common elements

found in set C and D therefore,

(C ⋂ D) = { }

In the previously given situation, If Analene and Jessica combine their

list of hobbies, what do they have in all?
If Analene is represented by set X = {dancing, singing, reading} and
Jessica is represented by set Y = {watching, singing, reading}, by combining
their list of hobbies we may form a union of hobbies that belongs either to
Analene or Jessica or in both.

X ⋃ Y = {dancing, singing, reading, watching)

The union of sets X and Y, denoted by X ⋃ Y, is a set of all members or

elements that can be found in set X or set Y, or in both X and Y.

The symbol ⋃ means “union”.

The union of sets X and Y can be represented using

a Venn diagram. The diagram on the right shows that
dancing, singing, reading, and watching belongs to either
set X, Y or both sets X and Y.

The word “and” signifies intersection while “or” suggests the union of
a set. Union and intersection are called set operations. Two sets can be
replaced by a single set.

15

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

Example 1. Find the union of sets A and B.

A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}

Solution:

(A ⋃ B) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10}

Example 2. A = {𝑥 𝑖𝑠 𝑎 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 1 𝑡𝑜 10}

B = {𝑥 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑛 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 17}

Solution: A = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16}

(A ⋃ B) = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16}

Difference of Two Sets

The difference of set Y from set X can be denoted as X – Y. It is a set

whose elements can be found in X but not in Y.

Let us consider the previous example. Analene and Jessica were asked
to list their top 3 hobbies. Analene likes dancing, singing, and reading, while
Jessica likes watching, singing, and reading.

Let X = {dancing, singing, reading}

Y = {watching, singing, reading}

Find: a. X – Y b. Y – X

16

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

Solution:

a. X – Y = {dancing}

Notice that we excluded singing and reading, which elements are

found in set X, because we should not include elements that can also
be found in set Y.

b. Y – X = {watching}

We excluded singing and reading, which elements are found in set

Y, because we should not include elements that can also be found
in set X.

Example 1. Let A = {𝑥 𝑖𝑠 𝑎 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 1 𝑡𝑜 10}

B = {𝑥 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑛 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 17}

Find: a. A – B b. B – A
Solution:

A = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16}

a. A – B = Remove all elements in A that are
