Taking the set of natural numbers as the universal set, write down the complements of the following sets: (i) {x: x is an even natural number} (ii) {x: x is an odd natural number} (iii) {x: x is a positive multiple of 3} (iv) {x: x is a prime number} (v) {x: x is a natural number divisible by 3 and 5} (vi) {x: x is a perfect square} (vii) {x: x is perfect cube} (viii) {x: x + 5 = 8} (ix) {x: 2x + 5 = 9} (x) {x: x ≥ 7} (xi) {x: x N and 2x + 1 > 10} |
Answer» U = N: Set of natural numbers (i) {x: x is an even natural number}´ = {x: x is an odd natural number} (ii) {x: x is an odd natural number}´ = {x: x is an even natural number} (iii) {x: x is a positive multiple of 3}´= {x: x N and x is not a multiple of 3} (iv) {x: x is a prime number}´ ={x: x is a positive composite number and x = 1} (v) {x: x is a natural number divisible by 3 and 5}´ = {x: x is a natural number that is not divisible by 3 or 5} (vi) {x: x is a perfect square}´ = {x: x N and x is not a perfect square} (vii) {x: x is a perfect cube}´ = {x: x N and x is not a perfect cube} (viii) {x: x + 5 = 8}´ = {x: x N and x ≠ 3} (ix) {x: 2x + 5 = 9}´ = {x: x N and x ≠ 2} (x) {x: x ≥ 7}´ = {x: x N and x < 7} (xi) {x: x N and 2x + 1 > 10}´ = {x: x N and x ≤ 9/2} |
