If W = {1, 2, 3, 4 …} and subset Z = {positive odd integers}, what is Z'?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Z' are the elements which aren't present in Z.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

that is an odd way to define sets

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Z'= everything in W but kick out everything in Z

OpenStudy (amistre64):

W and Z are used for their own specific sets, they shouldnt try to confuse the issue

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answes can be A= {1, 2, 3, 4 …} B= { } C={5, 6, 7, 8 …} D= {2, 4, 6, 8, …}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its algebra 1 ......

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ie take the positive integers (which are in W) and erase all of the odd positive integers (which are in Z) to get Z' = {2, 3, 4, 6, 8, ....} so this is the set of positive even numbers

myininaya (myininaya):

Z'={2,4,6,8,..} darn it jim won

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and trying to relate A,B,C, and D to Z' is bad form as well

OpenStudy (amistre64):

1000 monkeys at 1000 typewriters for 1000 years :)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good point, they should have made the set Z be Y or something

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if Z is defined already as {odd numbers} then it doesnt matter what they define W to be since Z' is simply {not the odd numbers}

OpenStudy (amistre64):

but i guess if Z < W it would be proper lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

exactly you beat me to it lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i may be dumb, but I ant smart ;)
