Does the symbol that looks like ( it looks like an O with a / through it) O/this mean intersection?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In Algebra.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\phi \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

If your "intersection" is EMPTY, the symbol for a Null Set might be \(\phi\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it or not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is an intersection bcs it intersects in the middle of the shape

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, thanks

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

So? Does it have any elements or is it empty?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\emptyset \] is the EMPTY set. The set containing precisely ZERO elements. \[\phi\] is a greek letter. Phi.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Right. And Ø is a letter common to some Scandinavian Languages. Easily mistaken symbols. Make sure you know what is meant.
