Operations on Intervals: Theory and Practice
This comprehensive guide delves into the fundamental concepts of set theory and interval operations, providing a solid foundation for first-year high school students studying działania na przedziałach zadania operationsonintervalsproblems.
Theory of Set Operations
The guide begins by introducing the basic set operations:
Definition: AUB UnionofsetsAandB: This operation includes all elements that belong to either set A or set B, or both.
Definition: AnB IntersectionofsetsAandB: This operation includes only the elements that are common to both sets A and B.
Definition: A\B DifferenceofsetsAandB: This operation includes elements that are in set A but not in set B.
Definition: B\A DifferenceofsetsBandA: This operation includes elements that are in set B but not in set A.
Practical Examples
The guide then presents four detailed examples to illustrate these concepts:
Example 1:
Given: A = <-2,4> and B = −1,6
- AUB = <-2,6)
- AnB = −1,4
- A\B = (-2,-1>
- B\A = 4,6
Highlight: This example demonstrates how to perform operations on intervals with different endpoints and types closedandopen.
Example 2:
Given: A = −2,3 and B = 3,6
- A\B = −2,3
- B\A = 3,6
- AUB = −2,6
- AnB = 3,3½
Vocabulary: The symbol '½' in 3,3½ represents a point that is exactly halfway between 3 and 4 on the number line.
Example 3:
Given: A = −1,5>andB=(−∞,3
- AUB = (-∞,5>
- A\B = (3,5>
- AnB = −1,3
- B\A = −∞,−1
Example: This problem introduces the concept of infinity in intervals, showing how to handle operations with unbounded intervals.
Example 4:
Given: A = <1,5) and B = −∞,6
- A\B = Ø emptyset
- AUB = −∞,6
- AnB = [1,5)
- B\A = −∞,1 U 5,6
Highlight: This example showcases the concept of an empty set result and the union of disjoint intervals in the B\A operation.
The guide concludes with a visual representation of the basic set operations: Union SUMA, Intersection ILOCZYN, and Difference ROˊZ˙NICA, providing students with a clear mental model of these concepts.
