MEDAL AND FAN Find A intersection B. A: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12} B: {-2, -1, 1, 4, 7, 11}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

{-2,-1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11} {1, 4, 7, 11} {-2, -1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} {}

@Sandybottoms1432 One secret about math is that a lot of problems can be solved by starting to understand the definitions (and the words that define them). Here, what can you tell me about intersection of two sets?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They both have 4,7, and 11

OpenStudy (mathmate):

In mathematics, the intersection A ∩ B of two sets A and B is the set that contains all elements of A that also belong to B (or equivalently, all elements of B that also belong to A), but no other elements. For explanation of the symbols used in this article, refer to the table of mathematical symbols.

it is a #cap I think the upside down u?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Examine your answer {4,7,11}, if it satisfies the definition, then it is the correct answer. If not, do something to make it correct. Intersection is #cap , or \(\cap\), union is #cup, or \(\cup\) (think of U=union).

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Remember that all members of a set are enclosed in a pair of braces \(\{ \}\), and repetition of members are not allowed. Example: {1,2,3} is a valid set, {1,1,2,3}, (1,2,3) and [1,2,3], are not valid sets

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay but what is the definition of an upside down union? I know what a union is but I am unsure what the #cap is?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

The definition of intersection \(\cap\) has been given above (ref. Wiki). The definition of union (\\cup\) is given below: Math Term Definition. Union of two sets. The union of two sets is everything in both sets. For example if you have the set {3,4,5} and the set {5,6,7}, then the union of these two sets is {3,4,5,6,7}. The symbol for union is a capital U. (ref. Wiki)

OpenStudy (mathmate):

(\\cup\) should read \(\cup \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH! A: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12} B: {-2, -1, 1, 4, 7, 11} So that means that it would be 1,4,7,11!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I gets it now :3 You the bestest @mathmate could you help me with one more? I will open another question to give you another medal?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

I don't know about choice letters, but {1,4,7,11} is correct, but remember that 1,4,7,11 is not a set, {1,4,7,11}is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes sorry I forgot the {} :)

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Go ahead. If someone else answers, I will give the other person a chance. If you get stuck, you can always tag me.

Thanks :D
