23
Q

is a collection of objects, called the elements of the set.

24
Q

must be well defined, meaning that its elements can be described and listed without
ambiguity.

25
If every element in set A is also an element of set B, then A is a ______ of B,
SUBSET
26
is the set that contains all objects under consideration. It written as ____
U for universal subset
27
is an empty set. The null set is a subset of any set.
NULL SETS
28
The symbol ____ or ____ will be used to refer to an __________
∅ or { } empty set
29
Is the number of elements contained in set A. It is written as n(A).
CARDINALITY OF A SETS
30
The set of first components in the ordered pairs is called the
domain of the relation.
31
The set of second components in the ordered pairs is called the
range of the relation.
32
The type of reasoning that forms a conclusion based on the examination of specific examples is called
Inductive Reasoning
33
The conclusion formed by using inductive reasoning is a
conjecture,
34
is the process of reaching a general conclusion by examining specific examples. OBSERVED
Inductive Reasoning
35
When you examine a list of numbers and predict the next number in the list according to some patterns you have observed, you are using
Inductive Reasoning
36
is the process of reaching a conclusion by applying general assumptions, procedures and principles.
Deductive Reasoning
37
is distinguished from inductive reasoning in that it is the process of reaching a conclusion by applying general principles and procedures.
Deductive Reasoning
38
is a function whose domain is a finite set of positive integers {1, 2, 3,..., n} or an infinite set {1, 2, 3, ...}
sequence
39
Each element or object in the sequence is called
terms
40
A sequence having last term is called
Finite sequence
41
while a sequence with no last term is called
infinite sequence
42
is a sequence where every term after the first is obtained by adding a constant.
arithmetic sequence
43
is the constant number added to the preceding term of the arithmetic sequence.
Common difference (d)
44
The formula for the general term of an arithmetic sequence is
a n = a 1 + (n − 1) d
45
Means are the terms between any two nonconsecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence.
Arithmetic Means
46
the mid-point between two numbers,
(x+y) / 2
47
is the application of mathematical skills and reasoning to problems encountered in everyday life.
