the intersection of the set of positive integers and the set of negative integers find the intersection.

the intersection of two sets is the set of all things that are in BOTH sets (ie what they both have in common)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

for instance if A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and B = {5, 7, 3, 9, 4} then A intersect B = {3, 4} because 3 and 4 are in BOTH sets

thamks so whats the answer

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

If A = set of positive numbers and B = set of negative numbers, then what is A intersect B

Nothing?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep, you denote this by saying "the empty set"

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

or you can use the symbol \(\Large \emptyset\) or you can write { } to denote the empty set
