Patterns can be seen in logic, numbers, geometry, words, and nature. There are four main types of patterns: 1) logic patterns seen on aptitude tests, 2) number patterns that follow a certain sequence, 3) geometric patterns using shapes that repeat, and 4) word patterns found in language with rules for nouns, verbs, and poetry. The Fibonacci sequence is a famous number pattern where each term is the sum of the two before it, starting with 0 and 1. This pattern is found in nature and was invented by Leonardo Pisano Bigollo.

Operations on Functions

• (f+g)(x) = f(x)+g(x)
• (f-g)(x) = f(x) – g(x)
Universal Set – a set that contains all elements • (f•g)(x) = [f(x)][g(x)]
found in the other given set/s. It is denoted by U. • (f/g)(x) = f(x)/g(x)
• (f o g)(x) = f(g(x))

Examples: Given that f(x) = x+1, g(x) = x²-1

• (f+g)(3) = f(3)+g(3) = (3+1)+(3²-1) =


Null Set - a set with no element. It is denoted by 4+8 = 12
{ }. This is also known as null set, denoted by Ø. • (g-f)(0) = g(0) – f(0) = (0²-1)-(0+1) = -
An empty set is a subset of any set. Any set is 1-1 = -2
subset of universal set. • (f•g)(-1) = [f(-1)][g(-1)] = (-1+1)((-1)²-1)

Equal Sets - are sets with exactly the same • (g/f)(1) = g(1)/f(1) = (1²-1)/(1+1) = 0/2 = combines two propositions to yield a new one

• (f o g)(x) = f(g(5)) = f(5²-1) = f(24) = values of the two original propositions.
.Example: E = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
24+1 = 25
F = {9, 7, 5, 3, 1} TRUTH TABLE
