Roster Form and Set-Builder Form of Sets

A set is a collection of well-defined objects. These objects may be actually listed or may be specified by a rule. In this article, we shall study the application of the definition of a set. Similarly, we shall study to write sets by roster method and set-builder method. Problems on Definition of a Set: Which […]

Operations on Sets

In the previous articles, we have studied the basics of set theory and its terminology. In this article, we shall study operations of sets including Union of sets, Intersection of sets, a complement of a set, Cartesian product of sets. The basic operations on sets are: Union of sets Intersection of sets A complement of […]

Introduction to Concept of Sets

A set is a collection of well-defined objects. These objects may be actually listed or may be specified by a rule. Sets are denoted by a capital letter like A, B, C…. and an object belonging to them (element of the set) are denoted by a small case letter like a, b, c,… of the […]

Binomial Theorem

Example 01: Expand (a + b)2 Solution: Expanding Binomially (a + b)2 = 2C0a2 + 2C1a2-1b1 + 2C2b2 (a + b)2 = (1)a2 + (2)a1b1 + (1)b2 (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab+ b2 Note: (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab+ b2 Example 02: Expand (a + b)3 Solution: Expanding Binomially (a + […]
