I hope this helps, I am horrible at unions and intersections, http://prntscr.com/5t2d2o From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_symbols

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Wait for ganesh's response though, I'm sure it will be awesome :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(A \subseteq B \) means every element of A is in B but there can be some other elements in B that are not part of A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8 Would you mind helping me with something else, please?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

wil try, ask..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10} C = {1, 5, 6, 7, 9} A ∪ (B ∩ C) = {1, 5, 7, 9} {1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9} {1, 5, 6, 7, 9}

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(B \cap C\) is the set with elements common to both B and C

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

start by finding that ^

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at the sets B and C are there any common elements ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

not quite

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

only take the elements that exist in both set A and set B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But you said to find the elements in B and C

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

find the "common" elements in B and C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes! only that \(B\cap C = \{6\}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

union that wid set A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, but what about the other part? I don't understand unions and intersections when parentheses get involved. Lol

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

A = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} \(B\cap C = \{6\}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

union of two sets is just another set with elements that exist in either one of the sets simply take all the elements for union

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, thank you so much! I still don't quite understand it that well, though.
