Answer

(i) The integers between -2 and 3 (both inclusive) are -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 and 3.

Roster form: {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3}

Set builder form: {x : x ∈ I and -2 ≤ x ≤ 3}

(ii) The letters in the word 'ULTIMATUM' are U, L, T, I, M, A, T, U, M. Writing each letter only once, we get U, L, T, I, M, A.

Roster form: {U, L, T, I, M, A}

Set builder form: {x : x is a letter in the word 'ULTIMATUM'}

(iii) The months of a year whose names begin with J are January, June and July.

Roster form: {January, June, July}

Set builder form: {x : x is a month of a year whose name begins with J}

(iv) The single digit whole numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Out of these, the perfect squares are 0, 1, 4 and 9.

Roster form: {0, 1, 4, 9}

Set builder form: {x : x is a one-digit whole number and a perfect square}
