GECAMT Assignment #2

This document contains instructions for multiple parts of a math and logic assignment. It asks the student to: 1) Use nouns, numbers and variables in sentences to demonstrate true, false and undetermined statements. 2) Write sets in set-builder form using constraints on membership. 3) Write sets in roster form describing their properties like containing even/odd numbers. 4) Write statements symbolically using logic operators like AND, OR and NOT. 5) Find set operations and complements for given sets like unions, intersections and differences.

GECMAT Assignment 2

A. Perform what is indicated.

1. Use your first name as an English noun in three sentences: one is true, one that is false, and one
whose truth cannot be determined without additional information.
a. True: Elizabeth starts with the letter “E”.
b. False: “Elizabeth” is five letters long.
c. Cannot be determined: Elizabeth is handsome.

2. Use the mathematical expression ‘3’ in three sentences: one that is true, one that is false, and
one whose truth cannot be determined without additional information.
a. True: 1 + 3 = 4
b. False: 1 + 3 = 2
c. Cannot be determined: x + 3 = 4

3. Use the mathematical expression ‘n’ in three sentences: one that is always true, one that is
always false, and one whose truth cannot be determined without additional information.
a. True: n + 1 = 1 + n
b. False: n – n= 1
c. Cannot be determined: n – 1 = 0

B. Write each given set-in set-builder form.

1. {2, 3, 5, 7, 11}: {x/ x is a prime number, 2 ≤ x ≤ 11}

2. {a, e, i, o, u}: {x/ x is a set of vowel letters}

3. {Tuesday, Thursday}: {x/ x is a set of days in a week that starts with the letter “T”}

4. {1, 4, 9, 16, 25}: {x 2/ x ∈ N, 1 ≤ x ≤ 5}

5. {January, March, May, July, August, October, December}: {x/ x is a set of months that have 31 days}

C. Given the following information: Write each given roster form.

A = {x/x is a set of even numbers}: A = {…, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, …}

B = {x/x is a set of odd numbers}: B = {…, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9…}

C = {x/x is a set of integers}: C = {…, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, …}

D = {x/x is a set of whole numbers}: D = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …}

E = {x/x is a set of rational numbers}: E = {…, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …}


F = {x/x is a set of irrational numbers}: F = {…, √ 3, √ 5, √ 7, …}

G = {x/x is a set of prime numbers}: G = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, …}

H = {x/x is a set of composite numbers}: H = {4, 6, 8, 9, 10, …}

I = {x/x is a set of real numbers}: I = {…, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …}

D. Write the statements in symbolic form using the symbols ~, ∨, and ∧ and the indicated letters
to represent components statements.

Let h = “John is healthy”, w = “John is wealthy”, s = “John is wise”.

1. John is healthy and wealthy but not wise.

- (h ∧ w) ∧ ~s

2. John is neither healthy, wealthy nor wise.

- ~ (h ∨ w) ∧ ~s

3. John is wealthy, but he is not both healthy and wise.

- w ∧ (~h ∧ ~s)

4. John is neither wealthy nor wise, but he is healthy.

- ~ (w ∨ s) ∧ h

E. Given the following sets: U = {a, b, c, d,e, f}, A = {a, c,e, f}, B = {c, d,e}, C = {e, f}. Find each of the
following.

1. complement of A = {b, d}
2. complement of B = {a, b, f}
3. complement of C = {a, b, c, d}
4. B ∪ C = {c, d, e, f}
5. A ∩ C = {e, f}
6. A – C = {a, c}
7. (A ∪ B)’ = {b}
8. B – C = {c, d}
9. A’ ∪ B’ = {a, b, d, f}
10. A’ ∩ B’ = {b}
