The University of Sydney MATH1111 Introduction to Calculus Semester 1 Week 2 Exercises (Thurs/Fri) 2017 Important Ideas and Useful Facts: (i) Sets and elements: A set is a collection of objects, referred to as elements. A set may be represented, for example, by a list of elements surrounded by curly brackets and separated by commas, or using set builder notation {. . . | . . .}, where the vertical line is an abbreviation for “such that”. For example, { x | x is a natural number less than 5 } and {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} represent the same set, whose elements are precisely 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4. (ii) Element symbol: The symbol ∈ is an abbreviation for “is an element of”, and 6∈ is an abbreviation for “is not an element of”. For example, if A = { x | x is a natural number less than 5 }, then 2 ∈ A, but 5 6∈ A. (iii) Subset symbols: If A and B are sets and we write A ⊆ B or B ⊇ A , then we mean that every element of A is also an element of B, and say that A is a subset of B. For example {1, 2, 3} ⊆ {1, 2, 3, 4} and {1, 2, 3, 4} ⊇ {1, 2, 3}, but {1, 2, 3, 4} 6⊆ {1, 2, 3}. (iv) Equality of sets: If A and B are sets then A = B if and only if A ⊆ B and B ⊆ A, that is, A and B have precisely the same elements. Order and repetition are not important. For example, {1, 2, 3, 4} = {4, 1, 3, 2} = {4, 1, 3, 1, 2, 3}. (v) Intersection, union and slash: If A and B are sets then put (a) A ∩ B = { x | x ∈ A and x ∈ B }, called the intersection of A and B. (b) A ∪ B = { x | x ∈ A or x ∈ B }, called the union of A and B. (c) A\B = { x | x ∈ A and x 6∈ B }, called A slash B, the result of removing from A all elements from B. (vi) Empty set: The empty set is the set without any elements and denoted by ∅. If A is any set then A ∪ ∅ = A, A ∩ ∅ = ∅ and A\A = ∅. (vii) Natural numbers: The set N = {0, 1, 2, 3, . . .} of natural numbers forms a number system, closed under addition and multiplication. A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no factors other than itself and 1. For example, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13 are prime numbers. (viii) Integers: The set Z = {0, ±1, ±2, ±3, . . .} of integers forms a number system, closed under addition, subtraction and multiplication. (ix) Rationals: The set Q = {a/b | a, b ∈ Z, b 6= 0} of rational numbers forms a number system, closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by nonzero elements. To add and multiply rational numbers, use the rules ad + bc a c + = b d bd and 1 a c ac · = . b d bd (x) Decimal expansion of a real number: A real number α has a decimal expansion α = bn bn−1 . . . b2 b1 · a1 a2 a3 . . . where the bi and aj are digits from the set {0, 1, 2, . . . , 9}. A real number is rational if and only if it has a recurring decimal expansion, which means the pattern of digits repeats forever from some point onwards. (xi) The real number line: The real numbers form a number system R that is closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by nonzero elements. We visualise R as a continuous number line, called the real line, with zero in the middle, negative numbers to the left and positive numbers to the right. √ √ (xii) Irrationals: A real number that is not rational is called irrational. For example, 2, 3, π and e (Euler’s number) are irrational, though the proofs for π and e are difficult. In a sense that can be made precise, most real numbers are irrational. (xiii) Significant figures: Real numbers may be approximated by rational numbers with finite decimal expansions. The number of digits counted to the right from the leftmost positive digit is called the number of significant figures. For example, real numbers represented by 26.103, 0.00304 and 0.003040 are quoted to 5, 3 and 4 significant figures respectively. (xiv) Scientific notation: A positive real number α is expressed in scientific notation if it has the form α = b · a1 a2 . . . am × 10k where m is nonnegative and k is an integer. For example, 193.034 and 0.003040 become 1.93034 × 102 and 3.040 × 10−3 respectively in scientific notation. The number of digits used in scientific notation is the number of significant figures being quoted, and this avoids ambiguity in the case of large whole numbers (with zeros as place-holders). (xv) Inequalities: If α, β ∈ R then we write α < β if β − α is positive, so that α appears to the left of β on the real number line. In this case we say that α is less than β and β is greater than α. We write α ≤ β if α = β or α < β. (xvi) Properties of inequalities: Let a, b, c ∈ R. (a) If a < b and c ≤ d then a + c < b + d, so that, in particular, a + c < b + c. (b) If a < b and c > 0 then ac < bc. If a < b and c < 0 then ac > bc. (c) If 0 < a < b then a1 > 1b > 0 . (xvii) Solution sets: The solution set (within the real number system R) of an equation or an inequality involving a variable x is the set of all real numbers x that satisfy the given equation or inequality. If no real numbers satisfy the given equation or inequality then the solution set is empty. (xviii) Interval notation: If a, b ∈ R and a < b then (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) [a, b] = { x ∈ R | a ≤ x ≤ b }, called a closed interval. (a, b) = { x ∈ R | a < x < b }, called an open interval. [a, b) = { x ∈ R | a ≤ x < b }, called half-open or half-closed. (a, b] = { x ∈ R | a < x ≤ b }, also called half-open or half-closed. [a, ∞) = { x ∈ R | a ≤ x } and (a, ∞) = { x ∈ R | a < x }. (−∞, b] = { x ∈ R | x ≤ b } and (−∞, b) = { x ∈ R | x < b }. 2 Exercises labelled with an asterisk are suitable for students aiming for a credit or higher. Tutorial Exercises: 1.
