(i) {3, 6, 9, 12} = {x: x = 3n, n ∈ N and 1 \(≤\) n \(≤\) 4}
(ii) {2, 4, 8, 16, 32}
It can be seen that 2 = 21, 4 = 22, 8 = 23, 16 = 24, and 32 = 25.
{2, 4, 8, 16, 32} = {x: x = 2n, n ∈ N and 1 \(≤\) n \(≤\) 5}
(iii) {5, 25, 125, 625}
It can be seen that 5 = 51, 25 = 52, 125 = 53, and 625 = 54.
∴ {5, 25, 125, 625} = {x: x = 5n, n ∈ N and 1\( ≤\) n \(≤\) 4}
(iv) {2, 4, 6 …}
It is a set of all even natural numbers.
∴ {2, 4, 6 …} = {x: x is an even natural number}
(v) {1, 4, 9 … 100}
It can be seen that 1 = 12, 4 = 22, 9 = 32 …100 = 102.
∴ {1, 4, 9… 100} = {x: x = n2, n ∈ N and 1 \(≤\) n \(≤\) 10}
Give reasons for the following.
(i) King Tut’s body has been subjected to repeated scrutiny.
(ii) Howard Carter’s investigation was resented.
(iii) Carter had to chisel away the solidified resins to raise the king’s remains.
(iv) Tut’s body was buried along with gilded treasures.
(v) The boy king changed his name from Tutankhaten to Tutankhamun.
In mathematics, a set is a well-defined collection of objects. Sets are named and demonstrated using capital letter. In the set theory, the elements that a set comprises can be any sort of thing: people, numbers, letters of the alphabet, shapes, variables, etc.

The items existing in a set are commonly known to be either elements or members of a set. The elements of a set are bounded in curly brackets separated by commas.
