Kinds of Set

1. There are different types of sets including universal sets, null sets, subsets, proper subsets, supersets, finite sets, and infinite sets. 2. A subset contains elements that are also elements of the universal set. A proper subset is similar but not equal to the universal set. A superset contains all elements of the subset. 3. Sets can be finite, meaning they can be counted, or infinite, meaning the elements cannot be counted. They can also be joint if they share elements or disjoint if they do not.

KINDS OF SET

1. Universal set
2. Null set
3. Subset
4. Proper Subset
5. Superset
6. Finite set and Infinite set
7. Joint and Disjoint set
1. Universal set- is the set that
contains all elements under
consideration. It is usually denoted by
U . Other sets contain elements from
the universal set.

Example: U = {a, b, c, d… z}
2. Null set – also known as the
empty set is the set having no
elements. It was written in symbols
as {} or ϕ . The empty set is a subset
of any set since any element in ϕ
would be an element in a set.
Example: set of white crows
3. Subset - Set F is a subset of
set A if every element of F are
also elements of A. The symbol
for subset is ⊆ .
Example:
a. Given A= {1, 2, 3}, how many subsets are
found in the given set?
1. {} 5. {1, 2}
2. {1} 6. {1, 3}
3. {2} 7. {2, 3}
4. {3} 8. {1, 2, 3}
There are 8 subsets
set A.
4. Proper subset – Set F is a proper
subset of set A, written as F ⊂ A, if
there is at least one element in F
not found in A. Proper subset
cannot be equal to each other.
Example: Given A= {1, 2, 3}, how many
proper subsets are found in the given
set?
a. {} e. {1, 2}
b. {1} f. {1, 3}
c. {2} g. {2, 3}
d. {3} There are 7 proper
subsets of set A.
5. Superset – if all elements of F
are found in A then A is a superset
of set F. In symbols, A ⊇ F. Given
that A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and F = {1,
3, 5} then A ⊇ F.
The cardinality or the cardinal number of a
set is the number of elements in a set. In
symbols, n(M) read as “the cardinality of
set M”

Example: Given A= {1, 2, 3} thus


n(A) = 3 since it contains 3 elements 1, 2, and
3.
6. Finite set – a set whose
elements can be counted.
7. Infinite set – a set whose
elements cannot be counted.
Example:
a. T = {x│x is a multiple of 4 less
than 25} - finite set
b. T = {x│x is an even number}-
infinite set
8. Equivalent set – two sets that
contains exactly the same number
of elements.
9. Equal sets - two sets that
contains exactly the same elements.
set
Example:
a. A = {1, 2, 3, 4}
B = {m, a, t, h} Equivalent set
b. C = {c, a, r}
D = {a, r, c} Equal set
10. Joint sets – sets with at least
one element in common.
11. Disjoint sets – are sets with
no common elements.
Example:
a. E = {1, 2, 3, 4}
F = {4, 8 , 12, 16} Joint set
b. G = {a, b, c}
H = {d, e, f} Disjoint set
