If A = {vowels in the English alphabet} and B = {consonants in the English alphabet}, what is \( A \cap B\) ?

Parth (parthkohli):

A \(\cap\) B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so wat is it

Parth (parthkohli):

What are the common elements?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we want you to try and figure it yourself. First find out what are the vowels and consonants and whether there is any that are common in both A and B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i see wat is common and that would be my a , b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

{b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is common in both "A and B" is your answer.

Parth (parthkohli):

Vowels are {a,e,i,o,u} and consonants are non vowels

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly as @ParthKohli says it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope. there is still an answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you really not get to the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u help by giving an example

Parth (parthkohli):

For example, A = {1,2,3} and B = {3,4,5} Now the common element(s) here is/are {3}. So, \(A \cap B = \{3\}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. Lets say that B = {1,2,3,4,5} and C = {6,7,8,9,10} then what are the common values in both B and C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is {}

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wooh thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

most specifically, you call it null set or empty set.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\emptyset \] that above is the symbol, if u can't see it clearly, it is basically and O with a diagonal strike through it.
