what would this look like as a graph?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

{(x, y) : x = 4} means "the set of all points of the form (x,y) such that x = 4" so they really mean "the set of all points (4,y)"

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

{( x, y ) : y = 4} is very similar, but now focused on the y coordinate it means "the set of all points (x,4)"

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

∩ means intersection

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

when you intersect 2 sets, you are just looking for everything they have in common

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so b?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

close, that's before you intersect the two sets think of each line as a set (a set of points)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

when you intersect the two sets, you're visually intersecting the lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, then a. thanks

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so this is just a really convoluted way of saying (4,4)
