Question
In lectures we learnt about writing sets using dummy variables satisfying certain conditions, perhaps
with some operation applied to the dummy variables. For example,
{x €N : 3|x}
is the set of natural numbers divisible by 3, and
{x? : x€ Z}
is the set of square integers.
Write each of the following sets using conditions in this way.
(a) {2, 4,8, 16, 32, ...}.
(b) {-2,4, –8, 16, –32, ...}.
-b+ yb? - 4ac -b - Vb – 4ac
(c)
}. (Assume that a, b, c are real numbers satisfying a 40 and
2a
2a
b2 – 4ac > 0.)
(d) The open interval in R with endpoints 1 and 3.
(e) The possible lengths of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle in which the short sides add
up to 10.
(1) The possible numbers of Chicken McNuggets you can buy. (Chicken McNuggets come in boxes
of 6, 9 or 20; so for example you can buy 26 of them (20 + 6) but you can't buy 25.)
