Describe the following sets in set-builder form:
(i) A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
(ii) B = {1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, …..}
(iii) C = {0, 3, 6, 9, 12,….}
(iv) D = {10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15}
(v) E = {0}
(vi) {1, 4, 9, 16,…,100}
(vii) {2, 4, 6, 8,….}
(viii) {5, 25, 125, 625}



Answer -

(i) A= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

{x : x  N, x<7}

This is read as x is such that x belongs to natural number and x is lessthan 7. It satisfies all condition of roster form.

(ii) B= {1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, …}

{x : x = 1/n, n  N}

This is read as x is such that x =1/n, where n  N.

(iii) C= {0, 3, 6, 9, 12, ….}

{x : x = 3n, n  Z+,the set of positive integers}

This is read as x is such that C is the set of multiples of 3 including 0.

(iv) D= {10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15}

{x : x  N, 9

This is read as x is such that D is the set of natural numbers which aremore than 9 but less than 16.

(v) E= {0}

{x : x = 0}

This is read as x is such that E is an integer equal to 0.

(vi) {1,4, 9, 16,…, 100}

Where,

12 = 1

22 = 4

32 = 9

42 = 16

.

.

.

102 = 100

So, above set can be expressed in set-builder form as {x2: x  N, 1≤ x ≤10}

(vii) {2,4, 6, 8,….}

{x: x = 2n, n  N}

This is read as x is such that the given set are multiples of 2.

(viii) {5,25, 125, 625}

Where,

51 = 5

52 = 25

53 = 125

54 = 625

So, above set can be expressed in set-builder form as {5n: n N, 1≤ n ≤ 4}
