If U = {positive integers} and subset M = {positive odd integers}, what is M'?

OpenStudy (ja1):

ok sorry i was finishing a test anyways refresh my memory what is the ' for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

after if?

OpenStudy (ja1):

no the M' what is the apostrophe for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont even know, its there

OpenStudy (ja1):

hmm, well if i remeber correctly its compliment, anyways so just a sec..

OpenStudy (ja1):

U = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10...} M = {1,3,5,7,9,11...}

OpenStudy (ja1):

now the M' is called the compliment and that set includes everything not in M

OpenStudy (ja1):

so M' = { }

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it reps a set of numbers

OpenStudy (ja1):

yes it represents everything that set M does not have

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's C

OpenStudy (ja1):

C?

OpenStudy (ja1):

you didnt include the answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused

OpenStudy (ja1):

lol ok so M has every single POSITIVE ODD integer so what is not in that group?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

negative odds and negative evens

OpenStudy (ja1):

yes all the negative integers but all the even positive ones too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yea those also

OpenStudy (ja1):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is?

OpenStudy (ja1):

what are the choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

{positive integers} { } {1, 3, 5, 7, ...} {2, 4, 6, 8, ...}

OpenStudy (ja1):

thats it only 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no there is 4 options

OpenStudy (ja1):

oh ok so what is it?

OpenStudy (ja1):

OpenStudy (ja1):

OpenStudy (ja1):
