given A = {2,3,5,7,8} and B = {3,5,8,9} What is A U B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

358 easy men

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

how did you get that answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

comon sense?

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

yes but there must be a mathematical technique you used to get the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no just common sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

trust me men simple

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why i think i chose them answers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use comon sense look at hte numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and thats ur answer

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

yeah but i need to explain how i got the answer and i cant write used common sense????? that would make your statement invalid to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u must fail at math if u have no common sense

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

i have no answer choice as 3,5,8 and thank you for being civilized and kindhearted -_-

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Oh yeah, now you hav TWO ignorant people

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

A = {2,3,5,7,8} and B = {3,5,8,9}|dw:1364782794558:dw|

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

find what's in the center. That is what the Union symbol means.

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

3,5,and 8

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

yes but i have no answer choice like that whatsoever

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

that's cause that's the intersection.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

My bad. The union is the concatenation of the two

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

yes wouldnt that be the middle?

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

A = {2,3,5,7,8} and B = {3,5,8,9} join the two sets together and take out repeats

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

3 and 5 then that would explain it...

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

and 8

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

No. {2,3,5,7,8}U{3,5,8} is {2,3,5,7,8}

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

I'm sorry what I said before is the intersection.

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

i have no answer choice like that i have {5} {5,8} {2,3,4,7,9} {2,3,4,5,7,8,9}

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Read this article. You will findwhat you seek. My first venn diagram image and the answer obtained from that is incorrect. You must put the two sets together and take out repeats.

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

yes i know ive read it but my answer choices make that article invalid...

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

yeah, well can't help you there. The answer should be what agrees with that wiki article.

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

you can never trust Wiki...

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Well, I'm as worthy of trust as wiki. The wiki math articles have yet to fail me. If you don't want to read wiki, just google union set theory and see if what you get disagrees.

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

yeah aint nobody got time for that so thank you for your help!

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

np :)
