Find B D. B: {−2, −1, 1, 4, 7, 12} D: {numbers divisible by 3 from 1 to 15} {12} {−2, −1, 1, 3, 4, 7, 12} {−2, −1, 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 15} { }

Union

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find all the numbers divisible by 3 in set B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

only 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep (:

hero (hero):

No, you guys are interpreting incorrectly.

hero (hero):

Union means to put everything in both sets in the same box, then remove repetitions. Don't get union mixed up with intersection.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so explain

hero (hero):

D: {numbers divisible by 3 from 1 to 15} = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15} B U D = {-2, -1, 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 12, 15} = {-2, -1, 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 15}

hero (hero):

Basically, you did two previous problems that showed the difference between union and intersection. Try to understand the difference between them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Hero Yeah he's right I got mixed up there for a sec, Union means to put everything in both sets together, so all the numbers in set B AND all the numbers from 1 to 15 that are divisible by 3

hero (hero):

...and remove any repetitions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so C?

hero (hero):

Since 12 repeats twice, remove one of them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, remember that too

hero (hero):

That's honestly the best way to do these without messing up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok thanks
