Reviewer: Sets, Relations, and Functions

I. Sets
Definition: A set is a collection of distinct objects, called elements. These elements can be numbers,
letters, or any well-defined objects. Sets are usually written using curly braces { }.

Ways to Describe a Set:


1. Roster/Tabular Method - Elements are listed inside curly braces, separated by commas.
Example: A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
2. Rule/Descriptive Method - The common characteristic of elements is described.
Example: B = { x | x is an even number less than 10}

Types of Sets:
- Empty Set (null set): A set with no elements. Example: S = {}
- Finite Set: A set with a countable number of elements. Example: S = {a, e, i, o, u}
- Infinite Set: A set with uncountable elements. Example: The set of all natural numbers.
- Universal Set (U): The set containing all elements under discussion.
II. Relations
Definition: A relation is a set of ordered pairs that connect elements from one set to another.

Ways to Represent Relations:


1. Set of Ordered Pairs: R = {(1,2), (2,3), (3,4)}
2. Table Representation:
X|Y
1|2
2|3
3|4

III. Functions
Definition: A function is a relation where each input has exactly one output.

Ways to Identify a Function:


1. Check Ordered Pairs - If an input appears twice with different outputs, it is NOT a function.
2. Vertical Line Test - If a vertical line touches more than one point on a graph, it is NOT a function.
IV. Practice Questions
1. Write the set A = {2, 4, 6, 8} in descriptive method.
2. Find A union B and A intersection B for:
- A = {1,3,5}
- B = {3,5,7}
3. Determine if the relation {(1,2), (2,3), (2,4)} is a function.
4. If f(x) = x^2 - 3x + 2, find f(3).
