Algebra 2 (Bell work)

1. A set is a collection of items called elements.

2. A subset is a set whose elements belong to another set.

3. The empty set, denoted , is a set containing no elements.

You can also use roster notation, in which the elements in a set are listed between braces, { }.

Words Roster Notation

The set of billiard balls is numbered 1 through 15.

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15}

A finite set has a definite, or finite, number of elements.

An infinite set has an unlimited, or infinite number of elements.

The set of all numbers x such that x has the given properties

{x | 8 < x ≤ 15 and x N}

Read the above as “the set of all numbers x such that x is greater than 8 and less than or equal to 15 and x is a natural number.”

The symbol means “is an element of.”

So x N is read “x is an element of the set of natural numbers,” or “x is a natural number.”

Apples cost $2 per pound, and grapes cost $3 per pound.

Write and simplify an expression for the total cost if you buy 10 lb of apples and grapes combined.

2A + 3(10 – A)

Let A be the number of pounds of apples.

= 30 – A

Then 10 – A is the number of pounds of grapes.

= 2A + 30 – 3A

What is the total cost if 2 lb of the 10 lb are apples?

Evaluate 30 – A for A = 2.30 – (2) = 28

The total cost is $28 if 2 lb are apples.

A travel agent is selling 100 discount packages. He makes $50 for each Hawaii package and $80 for each Cancún package.

Write an expression to represent the total the agent will make selling a combination of the two packages.

Let h be the number of Hawaii packages.

50h + 80(100 –h)

= 8000 – 30h

Then 100 – h is the remaining Cancun packages.

= 50h + 8000 –80h

How much will he make if he sells 28 Hawaii packages?

8000–30(28) = 8000–840

Evaluate 8000 –30h for h = 28.

He will make $7160. = 7160
