Objectives:
Define the complement of a set.
Find all subsets of a set.
Use subset notation
Find the number of subsets for a set
Find intersections, unions, and differences of sets
Find the Cartesian product of two sets
A. Basic Concepts
Let U = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90} and A = {10, 30, 50}.
Find A and draw a Venn diagram that illustrates these sets.

If a finite set has n elements, then the set has 2n subsets and 2n- 1 proper subsets.
When the intersection of two sets is the empty set, the sets are said to be disjoint. For
example, the set of students who stop attending class midway through a term and the set
of students earning As are disjoint, because you cant be a member of both sets.
The union of two sets A and B, symbolized by A B , is the set of all elements that are
in either set A or set B (or both). In set builder notation,
A B {x | x A or x B}
Note: The word or means union
