OpenStudy (andrewhaze):

what do you mean by p

OpenStudy (andrewhaze):

its a letter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well this is the question . . .

OpenStudy (displayerror):

Second derivative?

OpenStudy (andrewhaze):

im confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Suppose U = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} is the universal set and P = {1,2,3,4}. What is P" ? A) {5,6,7,8} B) {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} C) {1,2,3,4} D) cannot be determined

OpenStudy (andrewhaze):

well if p={1,2,3,4} then C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u sure ?

OpenStudy (andrewhaze):

no im thinking C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm goin with C :)

OpenStudy (andrewhaze):

ok im not sure tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r u kidding ?

OpenStudy (displayerror):

Is this the symbol? \[P'\] ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it looks like its P", with " instead of ' but it's really small

OpenStudy (andrewhaze):

I mean Im not 100% sure with C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what % are you ? Please be honest

OpenStudy (andrewhaze):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well like 20% or 80% ?

OpenStudy (andrewhaze):

i said idk

OpenStudy (displayerror):

Is this set theory? I'm assuming it's asking you for the complement of P (hence why I thought the symbol was P'). If that's the case, you're given the universal set and a subset P, so the complement of P (what the problem is asking you for) is everything that is NOT P.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know, this seems confusing

OpenStudy (displayerror):

Have you learned about the union and intersection of sets before?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe ?
