What does a Union do?

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Union of a Set?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Union of a set does combine all the elements in the two sets without repeating any of the element of the set..

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Union is a set of all elements put together. The union of two sets A and B is the collection of all elements in A and B. For Example: A: {a,b,c,d} B: {e,f,g,h} A U B = {a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay and what does the n thingy do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

doesnt it find all the same and put it in a seperate group?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Suppose you have tow sets; A = {1, 2, 3} B = {2 , 4} A Union B = {1, 2, 3, 4}

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

You mean " n(A U B) " this is number of elements in A U B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i mean the upside down U

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is called Intersection..

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Thats is intersection elements which are common in both sets For example: A ; {1,2,3} B : { 2,4,6} A ∩ B = {2}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That will give you the intersection of the two sets..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Suppsoe you have: A = {1 , 3, 4} B = {1, 3} So the common elements will give you intersection: \(A \cap B\) = {1, 3}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay. and is x or y of a function the range?

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Range is all y values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay! and i have one more question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If T = {positive integers} and subset W = {5, 10, 15, 20, …}, what is W'?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

W is subset..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

W is subset of T which is having positive integers divisible by 5..

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

and W' is complement of W ,that means all those elements which are not in W since W is a subset of T ,W' is the set of all elements which are present in T but not in W

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

so what can that be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There are multiples of 5 present in W.. So if you delete multiples of 5 from T you will get W' right??
