Sample questions

  • Given A = {a, b} and B = {b, c}, find their intersection A ∩ B.
  • What is the smallest listed number set containing a?
  • Which statement about number sets is always true?
  • What is the smallest listed set containing the fraction a/b?
  • What is the smallest listed set containing √a?
  • Which of the listed sets is finite?
  • Does x belong to the interval [a, b)?
  • Which inclusion relationship between number sets is correct?

Number sets and real numbers

Natural numbers form a subset of the integers, integers form a subset of the rational numbers, and rational together with irrational numbers form the real numbers. A rational number can be written as a/b, where a and b are integers and b ≠ 0.

Sets and intervals

A terminating or recurring decimal is rational, while numbers such as √2 and π are irrational. Interval brackets show whether an endpoint is included. Choose the smallest set containing a number, and distinguish membership ∈ from the subset relation ⊂.
