1) A set is a collection of objects or members that are well-defined. Sets can be finite or infinite.
2) A finite set allows you to count and name all elements, while an infinite set does not allow you to name or count all elements.
3) The number of subsets of a set equals 2 to the power of the number of elements in the set.

9S Look at the objects below and answer the questions: How can you group the objects given? Name each group.
How many groups can you form? Make a list of
the groups.
Is there an object that belongs to more than one
group? Which object(s)?
What do you call these groups of objects that you
have formed? Create a definition for this term. • Each set is denoted A set is a collection by a capital letter. of items usually of • A set may be the same kind. A set described by listing is a well-defined the members or collection of describing the objects. members. • Curly brackets {} are used to show a set. A set is well defined if all its members can be listed. E.g., {even numbers less than 17}; {letters in the alphabet}
Not Well defined sets:
1) Set of good students (what is good student is not defined) 2) Set of young people in a city (What is age limit of young people is not defined). In a finite set, it is possible to count and name all the elements in the set. In an infinite set it is not possible to name or count all the elements in the set. For Example: X = {days of the week} X = {Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday} n(X) = 7. Set X is finite. Y = {counting numbers} Y = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5…}. The n(Y) is unknown so set Y is infinite. The Number of Subsets. T = {2, 4, 6}. The following are subsets of T: {2}, {4}, {6}, {2,4}, {2,6}, {4,6}, {2,4,6}, {}. Any set is a subset of itself. Any set is a subset of the universal set. The empty set is a subset of every set including itself. The number of subsets, S, in T is 8. The formula S= 2n can also be used to calculate the number of subsets in a set where, S= the number of subsets and n = the number of elements in a set. So, S= 2n; S = 23 = 2×2×2= 8
