If A = {onion, pickles} and B = {onions, pickles, mustard, mayonnaise, lettuce}, what is A union B? {onions, pickles} {onions, pickles, mustard, mayonnaise, lettuce} {mustard, mayonnaise, lettuce} { } Either A or B

Parth (parthkohli):

I'm guessing you know what A union B means.

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

I guess soo

Parth (parthkohli):

So, can you then find out A union B here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

union is when you put both together

Parth (parthkohli):

Yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be onions, pickles, mustard, mayonnaise, lettuce

Parth (parthkohli):

>_>

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

Well thanks for mesin it up for me

Well, A is the what's called the intersection.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the union involves everything in both sets iteresections are the ones they have in common

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Yes, @mulline as you were kind enough to demonstrate :) I was merely saying that choice A, in fact, is the intersection of A and B.
