1. The problem asks to describe each given roster (list of elements) using set-builder notation.
2. Set-builder notation describes a set by stating the properties that its members must satisfy.
3. For each roster, identify the pattern or rule that defines the elements.
4. Write the set as $\{x \mid \text{condition on } x\}$, meaning "the set of all $x$ such that the condition holds."
**a)** $\{...,-3,-2,-1\}$
- These are all integers less than or equal to $-1$.
- Set-builder: $\{x \mid x \in \mathbb{Z} \text{ and } x \leq -1\}$
**b)** $\{1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3\}$
- These are decimal numbers starting at $1.0$ increasing by $0.1$ up to $1.3$.
- Set-builder: $\{x \mid x = 1 + 0.1n, n \in \{0,1,2,3\}\}$
**c)** $\{3,4\}$
- Two integers 3 and 4.
- Set-builder: $\{x \mid x \in \{3,4\}\}$
**d)** $\{-5,-4,-3,-2\}$
- Integers from $-5$ to $-2$ inclusive.
- Set-builder: $\{x \mid x \in \mathbb{Z} \text{ and } -5 \leq x \leq -2\}$
**e)** $\{20,21,22,23,...\}$
- Integers starting at 20 and increasing without bound.
- Set-builder: $\{x \mid x \in \mathbb{Z} \text{ and } x \geq 20\}$
**f)** $\{...,-1,0,1,2,...\}$
- All integers.
- Set-builder: $\{x \mid x \in \mathbb{Z}\}$
**g)** $\{3,4,5,6\}$
- Integers from 3 to 6 inclusive.
- Set-builder: $\{x \mid x \in \mathbb{Z} \text{ and } 3 \leq x \leq 6\}$
**h)** $\{-7,-6,-5,-4\}$
- Integers from $-7$ to $-4$ inclusive.
- Set-builder: $\{x \mid x \in \mathbb{Z} \text{ and } -7 \leq x \leq -4\}$
**i)** $\{2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, ...\}$
- Decimal numbers starting at 2.0 increasing by 0.1 without bound.
- Set-builder: $\{x \mid x = 2 + 0.1n, n \in \mathbb{N}_0\}$ where $\mathbb{N}_0$ is the set of whole numbers including zero.
This completes the set-builder notation descriptions for all rosters.
