OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many elements are in WHAT set?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lost me you can find the number of elements in each set by counting. what does "both" mean in this context?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Do you mean the elements the sets have in comnmon or the number of elements if the two sets are combined?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what mertsj is asking is do you want the number of elements in the intersection \[S\cap C\] or in the union \[S\cup C\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

second choice

OpenStudy (mertsj):

then put all the numbers into one set, throw out the duplicates and count how many numbers are left.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks
