system, estimation / approximation of a square of a number and the measures of quantities,
and the applications of real numbers to measurements.
B. Performance Standards:
1. Describe and define the complement of a given set and the universal set.

B. Preparation
Let us examine the colors. What are the colors Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo violet
that you can see in the rainbow?
Very good. If the colors are the elements, then Universal set is the set consisting of all the
the rainbow is our universal set. elements under consideration.
How about this example. What are the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
in our solar system? Uranus, Neptune, Pluto
Very good. If the planets are the elements. Universal set is the set consisting of all the
Solar system would be our universal set. elements under consideration
Based on our example, what is a universal
set?
How do we write the universal set of the U = { Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter,
planets in our solar system? Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto}
Very good. Do you have any questions? None
Group 1
1. Letters from a to i U = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h}
2. Letters from g to m U = {g, h, I, j, k, l, m}
Group 2
3. Numbers from 18 to 22 U = {18, 19, 20, 21, 22}
4. Numbers from 94 to 100 U = {94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100}
Group 3
5. Days in a week U = {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday, Saturday, Sunday
6. Months of a year U = {January, February, March, April, May, June,
July, August, September, October, November,
December
Group 4
7. Polygons U = triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon,
heptagon, octagon, nonagon, decagon,
undecagon, dodecagon
8. Fundamental operations of Math U ={addition, subtraction, multiplication, division}
Do you have any questions? None
Since there’s none, let us examine the
statement
“I love all the colors except for blue and indigo.
They are so dark.
What colors did the person did not love? Blue and indigo
How about
“I went to school every day except on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday.”
What is our universal set? The days in a week
Very good. So based on our example, how do The complement of set A contains the elements
we define compliment of a set? that belong to universal set but do not belong to
set A.
Very good. Can we have a compliment without No.
a universal set?
Why? The compliment would be infinite.
C. Application.
D. Abstraction / Generalization
What have you learned this morning? This morning, we have learned about the
universal set and complement of a set.
Is it possible to have a complement of a set No. complement indicates that there is a
without a universal set? universal set.
E. Evaluation
Direction. Solve the following. Write your
answer only.
Given U = {x | x is a number from 0 to 10.
A = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
B = {3, 5, 7, 8}
C = {0, 2, 6, 8}
1. A’ A’ = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
2. B’ B’ = {0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 10}
3. C’ C’ = {1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10}
4. (B’)’ (B’)’ = {3, 5, 7, 8}
5. (B П C)’ (B П C)’ = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10}
6. A’ U B’ A’ U B’ = {0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
7. B’ П C’ B’ П C’ = {4}
