Which notation shows the relationship between set A and set B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let set A = {1, 3, 5, 7} and set B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A ∪ B A ⊆ B A ∩ B B ⊆ A

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

What do you notice about all of the numbers of set A in terms of set B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They're all the odd numbers

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good start, what else?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not so sure

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let's go through each number in set A

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and see how it relates to set B

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

The number 1 is in set A. Is that also in set B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

3 is in A, is it in B as well?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All the numbers that are in A, are in B, I see

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

all of A is contained in B

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so that means A is a subset of B

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

we denote that by writing A ⊆ B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh. I see now. Just that little bit explains it a lot better than the assignment does lol. thank you. Could you help with one more maybe?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

something like B ⊆ A is NOT true because there are numbers in set B that are not in A. So saying "set B is contained in set A" is false

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Sure, go ahead and post it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks for explaining. and okay hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A Venn diagram comparing a swamp to a rainforest is shown.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which area represents elements contained in the sample space that are not contained in swamp or rainforest?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A B C D

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So it's essentially asking "what things are NOT in a rainforest and NOT in a swamp?"

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Visually, this is outside of the two circles because if you are inside either one, then you are either in a rainforest or in a swamp (but we're really in neither)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be A?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

B represents swamp only

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

C represents both swamp and rainforest at the same time

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

D is rainforest only

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

A is neither one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see now. Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you're welcome
