6-5-EXT Closure
A set is a collection of objects. Each object in a set is called an element of the set. A set may have no elements, a finite number of elements, or an infinite number of elements. For example, N = {1, 2, 3, …} describes the set of natural numbers.

6-5-EXT Closure
A subset is a set contained entirely within another set. For example,A = {2, 6, 11, 50} is a subset of set N above. Also, N is a subset of the set of real numbers. The diagram below shows other subsets of the real numbers.

6-5-EXT Closure
A set of numbers is closed, or has closure, under a given operation if the result of the operation on any two numbers in the set is also in the set. For example, the set of even numbers is closed under addition, since the sum of two even numbers is also an even number.

Example 1:Determining Closure of Sets of Numbers
A. Is the set {–2, 0, 2} closed under multiplication?
Multiple each pair of elements in the set. Check whether each product is in the set
–2 –2 = 4 –2 0 = 0 –2 2 = –4 0 0 = 0 0 2 = 4 2 2 = 4
The set {–2, 0, 2} is not closed under multiplication.

Remember the Commutative Property of Multiplication. If 1 × (-1) = -1, then -1 × 1 = -1. Only one instance needs to be tested.
Remember!

Example 2: Determining Closure of Sets of Polynomials
A. Is the set {0, 1, x, x + 1} closed under addition? Explain.
x + (x + 1) = 2x + 1
The set {0, 1, x, x + 1} is not closed under addition.
B. Show that the set of polynomials is closed under multiplication.
Since each product of two polynomials will result in a polynomial, the set is closed.
