Given:
A set of composite numbers less than 12.
To find:
The set by listing and set builder methods.
Solution:
Composite number: A positive integer is called a composite number if it has at least one divisor other than 1 and itself.
Composite numbers less than 12 are 4, 6, 8, 9, 10.
By using the listing method , the given set can be expression as:
Set = {4, 6, 8, 9, 10}
The numbers 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 are greater than 1, less than 12 and non prime numbers.
By using set builder method, the given set can be expression as:
Set = [tex]\{x|x\neq P,1<x<12\}[/tex]
Therefore, the list and set builder notation of the given set are {4, 6, 8, 9, 10} and [tex]\{x|x\neq P,1<x<12\}[/tex] respectively.
