• Elements-– what make up the set
• Subset –– a set whose elements all belong to another set
• Empty Set- – set containing no elements

Consider the numbers
Classify each number by the subsets of the real numbers to which it belongs.
Vocabulary
• Roster Notation– You are able to list all numbers in a set.
• Interval Notation– Notation for a set of all numbers between two
endpoints.– The symbols [ and ] are used to include the endpoints– The symbols ( and ) are used to exclude the endpoints
• Set Builder Notation– Notation for a set that uses a rule to describe the
properties of the elements of the set.
There are many ways to represent sets. For instance, you can use words to describe a set. You can also use roster notation, in which the elements in a set are listed between braces, { }.

The set of billiard balls is numbered 1 through 15.
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15}
The set of real numbers between 3 and 5, which is also an infinite set, can be represented on a number line or by an inequality.
-2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 83 < x < 5
An interval is the set of all numbers between two endpoints, such as 3 and 5. In interval notation the symbols [ and ] are used to include an endpoint in an interval, and the symbols ( and ) are used to exclude an endpoint from an interval.
(3, 5) The set of real numbers between but not including 3 and 5.
-2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
3 < x < 5
An interval that extends forever in the positive direction goes to infinity (∞), and an interval that extends forever in the negative direction goes to negative infinity (–∞).
-5 0 5–∞ ∞
Use interval notation to represent the set of numbers.
7 < x ≤ 12
(7, 12]
Example 2A: Interval Notation
7 is not included, but 12 is.
There are two intervals graphed on the number line.
[–6, –4]
(5, ∞)
–6 and –4 are included.
5 is not included, and the interval continues forever in the positive direction.
The word “or” is used to indicate that a set includes more than one interval.
[–6, –4] or (5, ∞)

(–∞, 2] 2 is included, and the interval continues forever in the negative direction.
(3, 11] 3 is not included, but 11 is.
The set of all numbers x such that x has the given properties
{x | 8 < x ≤ 15 and x N}
Read the above as “the set of all numbers x such that x is greater than 8 and less than or equal to 15 and x is a natural number.”
The symbol means “is an element of.” So x N is read “x is an element of the set of natural numbers,” or “x is a natural number.”
Helpful Hint

Example 3: Consumer Economics Application
Use mental math to find a 5% tax on a $42.40 purchase.
A 5% tax on a $42.40 is $2.12.
10%(42.40) Move the decimal point left 1 place.
Think: 10% of $42.40
5% is half of 10%, so find half of 4.24.
Think: 5% = (10%)
= 4.240 = 4.24

Example 4A: Application
Apples cost $2 per pound, and grapes cost $3 per pound.
Write and simplify an expression for the total cost if you buy 10 lb of apples and grapes combined.
2A + 3(10 – A)
Combine like terms.
Let A be the number of pounds of apples.
Distribute 3.
= 30 – A
Then 10 – A is the number of pounds of grapes.
= 2A + 30 – 3A
Apples cost $2 per pound, and grapes cost $3 per pound.
What is the total cost if 2 lb of the 10 lb are apples?
Evaluate 30 – A for A = 2.
30 – (2) = 28
The total cost is $28 if 2 lb are apples.
