Sets
1. Determine if the following statements are true or false. Be sure to support your answer.
(a) 2 ∈ { 0,2,4,6,8 }
(b) 4 ∉ { 0,2,4,6,8 }
(c) 2 ∈ { 0,1 , { 2 } }
(d) { 2 } ∈ { 0,1 , { 2 } }
(e) { 3 } ∈ { {3 } }
(f) ∅ ∈ {−1,0,1 }
(g) ∅ ∈ {−1 , ∅ ,1 }
(h) ∅ ∈ {−1 , { ∅ } ,1 }
2. Identify each set as finite or infinite. Then determine whether 10 is an element of the set.
(a) { 4,5,6 ,… ,15 }
(b) { 1,2,3,4,5 , … ,75 }
(c) {1, 12 , 14 , 18 , …}
(d) { 4,5,6 ,… }
(e) { x|x is a natural number greater than 11 }
(f) { x|x is a natural number greater than∨equal¿10 }
(g) { x|x is a fraction between 8∧9 }
(h) { x|x is an even natural number }
3. List the elements in each of the following sets.
(a) {n ∈ Z : 6n ∈ Z }
(b) { x ∈ R : x 2+ x−6=0 }
(c) {r ∈ Q: 1r =r }
(d) { n ∈ N :n is prime }

(e)
{ x∈R:
x2
=0
}
(f) { r ∈Q :r =2n for n ∈ Z }
4. Write each of the following sets using set-builder notation.
(a) { 1,2,3,4,5 }
(b) { … ,−5 ,−3 ,−1,1,3,5 ,… }
(c) { … ,−24 ,−18 ,−12 ,−6,0,6,12,18,24 , … }
