Disjoint Set – Sets having no common elements

Section: ________________________________ Day 2
I. Learning Competencies
Illustrates well defined sets, subsets, universal sets, null set, and
cardinality of sets, union and intersection of sets and the
difference of two sets.
Specific Objectives:
1. Determine and differentiate whether a given set is
equivalent or equal; and
2. Define and describe other kinds of sets.

II. Development of the Lesson
Sir Jumari, my classmate gave me a set of fruits and a set of
vegetables as shown below. However I was confused because he
said that the two sets are equivalent even If they are not equal. Is
this possible?
F = {banana, starfruit, jackfruit}
Example:
The set of fruits (F = {banana, starfruit, jackfruit}) and vegetables
(V = {bell pepper, onion, tomato}) in the previous example are
Disjoint with each other since there is no common element.
5. Equal Set – Two sets containing same elements
Example:
E = {2,3,5,7,11} and G = {3,2,7,5,11}, Even if the elements were
not in the same order as long as they have the same element.
Hence, set E is equal to G in symbols, we have; E = G.
6. Equivalent Set – Two sets that contain same number of elements.
It is represented by ≈ .
Note:
If two sets are equal it means it is also equivalent. However, if two
sets are equivalent it doesn’t necessarily means they are equal.
With regards to the question earlier yes it is indeed possible
III. Exercise
Given 2 paired sets, identify the sets that are Joint (J), Disjoint (D),
Equal (=), and Equivalent (≈ ) to each other by checking the boxes
provided.
Sets J D = ≈
A = {a,e,I,o,u} and
I = {x|x is a vowel letter in the English Alphabet}
C = {a,e,I,o,u} and
E = {2,3,5,7,11}

Answers to Exercises:
V = {bell pepper, onion, tomato}
Sets J D = ≈
A = {a,e,I,o,u} and / / /
I = {x|x is a vowel letter in the English Alphabet}
C = {a,e,I,o,u} and / /
E = {2,3,5,7,11}

Hi class! My name is Sir Jumari. For today’s lesson we will clear IV. Evaluation
the confusions involving the following terms; equivalent and equal A. What possible kind of paired set are the following. Write the
as we will tackle the different kinds of sets. answer/s on the space provided.

Kinds of Sets 1. N = {n,e,w} and O = {o,l,d}. _______________________

Try This! 2. P = {1,2,3,4} and A = {a,b,c,d,e}. ____________________
State whether the given set is FiNITE or INFINITE set. The first one 3. Q = {t,e,a} and R = {t,e,a,r}. _______________________
is done for you. 4. Q = {t,e,a} and S = {e,a,t}. _________________________
A. {2,4,6,8,…20} FINITE
B. {0} ___________ B. Write I if the given set is infinite and F if it is finite after each item.
C. {3,5,7,…} ___________ 1. {g,o,l,d} 3. {x|x <3}
2. P = {1,2,3,4} 4. {1,2,3,4,…}
The answer for letter B is FINITE, since the set consist of one
countable element while in letter C the answer is infinite since there
are still numbers that will follow after the last element this is due to
the presence of the ellipses (…).

1. Finite Sets – sets with countable number of elements

Example:
F = {banana, starfruit, jackfruit}, since set F has 3 countable
elements. Set F is an example of a finite sets.

2. Infinite Sets – Sets with infinite number of elements, commonly

we can see this symbol (…) called ellipses. Which means there are
more elements of the same kind that follows.
Example:
B = {1,2,3,4,5,…}, Set B is a set of all counting numbers hence there
are still infinite numbers after the last element e.g 6,7,8,9,10 etc.

Paired Sets
3. Joint Sets – Sets having at least one common/similar element.
Example:
A = {a,b,c,d,e} and C = {a,e,I,o,u}, Set A and C had two common
elements “a” and “e” making set A and C to a Joint Set.
