WEEK 1
CONCEPT OF SET
SET: set can be defined as a collection of objects according to a well-defined common element, object, items, or properties. E.g. Mathematical set, drum set, set of spanners, set of screw drivers e.t.c.
ELEMENT: This is each member of a set or properties, items in a given set. x A or A = {x}
METHOD OF DESCRIBING SETS
THE SET BUILDER/PROPERTY SET: this is the set that describes the elements of the set by referring to their common properties. Example, W = , Y = {x: x is even numbers between 0 ≤ x ≤ 10}
THE ROSTER/TABULAR/LISTING METHOD: This is the actual listing of all the members of a given set. Example, Y = {2,4,6,8,10}. W = {SUNDAY,MONDAY,TUESDAY,WEDNESDAY,THURSDAY,FRIDAY, SATURDAY)
TYPES OF SETS
FINITE SET: Is a set that its elements can be listed or has an end point. i.e. {1,2,4,6,8,9,10}
INFINITE SET: Is the set that their element is continuous or impossible to list. i.e. all the natural positive numbers {1,2,3,4,…}
EMPTY SET: This is a set that has or contain no element and its represented as {}, Ø or null.
EQUALITY SET: This is two set that has the same elements. i.e. A = {1,3,5,7,9} and B = {1,1,5,3,9,9,7}
EQUIVALENT SET: Two sets are said to be equivalent if they both have the same numbers of elements. i.e. X ={a,b,c,d,e,y,z} and P = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
SUB-SETS: Given two sets A and B such that set A consists of all the elements in set B, then set B is a subset of set A
SUPER-SET: Given two set A and B, if the set A is a SUBSET of set B and there exist at least one element in set B which is not in set A , then the set B is a SUPER-SET of set A B ↄ A or A is a proper subset of B, A ϲ B
ASSESSMENT: work out the following:
- If µ = {all the months in the year} A = {all the months in the year that begins with letter J} B = {all the months in the year ending with letter r}
- List all the members of µ (ii) List all the members in A (iii) List all the members of B
- Given that µ = {all the days in a week}. P = {all the days in the week whose letters begins with S}.

- List the members of the following sets:
µ = {all positive integers less than or equal to 30}
X = {all even positive numbers less than or equal to 20}
Y = {all odd numbers less than or equal to 19}
Z = {all integers x: 10 x 30} and hence find,

OPERATION OF SET AND VENN DIAGRAM
UNIVERSAL SET: is a set that contains all the elements or items under consideration or is called the MOTHER SET.Its denoted byµ or Ɛ.
COMPLIMENTARY SET: is the set of elements in the universal set that is not in the given set or in the subset. Its denoted by or .
CARDINALITY OF SET: Is the number of elements in a given set. Written as n(A) or n(P)
POWER SET: is the set of all the subsets of a given set. Its denoted as p(A) or . Note that in every set there is always an empty set of Ø in addition to the given elements in the set.
INTERSECTION OF SET: given two non-empty set A and B, if there exit a common element in A and B, the common members of the two set is called intersect ion of set.
UNION OF SET: Given two set X and Y, the collection of the element sin both set without repetition is called UNION of set.
DISJOINT SET: This is two or more set that are not related by any element.
VENN DIAGRAM: This is a graphical means of representing set information. It was first used by JOSEPH JOHN VENN AND LEONARD EULER.
EXAMPLE

WEEK 3
BINARY OPERATION.
Binary operation is any rule of combination of any two elements of a given non – empty set. It is denoted by asterisk (ӿ). E.g. a * b = a + b – 3. The operations are +, -, x, ÷.
CLOSURE PROPERTY: A non – empty set S is said to be closed under a binary operation * if for all a,bε S. a*b ε S.
EXAMPLE
The binary operation * on the set Q of positive rational numbers is defined by p*q = , p,qεQ. Determine:
- 2*1. (b) -3 *1. Is the operation * closed under Q.
SOLUTION
- P =2 and q = 1, then 2 * 1 = = –
2*1 ɆQ or – is not closed.
- -3 * 1 = =
= Ԑ Q, is closed.
COMMUTATIVE PROPERTY: Given a non – empty set S which is closed under a binary operation * if for all a, b Ԑ S, a*b = b*a, then the binary operation is saidto be COMMUTATIVE.
EXAMPLE
The operation * on the set Q of real numbers is defined by x*y = 25xy for x, y Ԑ Q. find under the operation *, the commutative property?
SOLUTION
If x*y = 25xy, then y*x = 25yx or let x=2 and y =4
2*4 = 25(2×4) = 200
4*2 = 25(4×2) = 200
Therefore 2*4 = 4*2 which is commutative, hence y*x = x*y.
ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY: Given a non –empty set S closed under a binary operation*, then a,bԐ S a*b ԐS. a*b can also combine with cԐS and it becomes (a*b)*c. that is a*(b*c) = (a*b)*c.
EXAMPLE
Given that the binary operation a*(b*c) is associative under the operation *, determine under which basic operations a*(b*c) is associative?
SOLUTION
If a=6, b=3 and c=2. Then, UNDER ADDITION OPERATION
a + (b +c) = (a + b) + c
6 +(3 + 2) = (6 + 3) + 2
11 = 11 associative
SUBTRACTION
A – (b – c) = (a – b) – c
6 – (3-2) = (6-3) -2
5 ≠ 1. Subtraction is not associative under the operation *, Iff a, b and c are equal
HOME WORK: find out whether multiplication and division associate under *.
DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY: Given a non – empty set S, closed under the operation* and Δ if for all a, b,cԐS, a*(bΔc) = (a*b) Δ (a*c). Then the operation * is said to be distributive over the operation Δ.
EXAMPLE
The operations * and Δ are defined on the set N of natural numbers on +, -, x, and ÷. Does they distribute
SOLUTION
a*(bΔc) = (a*b) Δ (a*c)
ax(b+c) = (axb) + (axc) = ab + ac. Multiplication distributes under addition.
ax(b-c) = ab – ac. Multiplication distributes under subtraction
ax(bxc) = abc. Multiplication does not distributes under multiplication.
ax(b÷c) = . Multiplication does not distributes under division
this can only distributes iff a,b,c are equal.
ASSESSMENT: work out the following questions:
- Determine if the following properties distributes under their operations:
- a- (b+c) (b) a ÷(b + c) (c) a + (bxc) (d) a + (b – c) (e) a ÷ (b ÷ c)
- the operation * is defined on the set R, of real numbers, by a *b = – 1 for all a,bԐ R.
- Is R closed under *?
- Is the operation * commutative in R
- Is the operation* associative in R
- The operation * on the set R of real numbers, is defined by: x*y = 3x + 2y -1. X,yԐ R. Determine:
- 2*3 (b) -4*5 (c) * (d) 3 * -1.
- Determine whether or not each of the following sets is closed under the given operations defined by :
- a*b = 4(a + b) a,bԐR of real numbers.
- P Δq = p,qԐR of real numbers
- X Θ y = x + y + , x, y Ԑ Q of rational numbers.

Ԑ
THE IDENTITY ELEMENT: Given a non-empty set S, which is closed under a binary operation * , if there exist an element eԐS such that a*e = e*a = a for all aԐS, then e is called the IDENTITY OR NEUTRAL ELEMENT in S under the operation *.
THE INVERSE ELEMENT: Given a non -empty set S, which is closed under a binary operation * , if xԐS and we can find an element ԐS such that x* = *x = e. where e is the identity element in S under * , the is the inverse of x in S.
EXAMPLE
The operation Δ on the set Q of rational numbers is defined by x Δ y = 9xy for x,yԐQ. find under the operation Δ: (i) the identity element (ii) the inverse element.
SOLUTION
- XΔy = 9xy, let y = e
Then xΔe = eΔx = x
x = 9xe. Therefore, e = .
- Let y = inverse of x
Recall that X* *x = e
e = 9x , then = 9x
Therefore = .
