Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4,}, B = {3, 4, 5, 6, 7}, and C = {2, 3, 5, 7} Find: B∩C

satellite73 (satellite73):

ignore A, it has nothing to do with it

satellite73 (satellite73):

pick the number that are in both B and C

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

3,5

satellite73 (satellite73):

\[B\cap C\] means in B AND in C

OpenStudy (troy121101):

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are all of the numbers between B and C.

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

3,5 are both in b and c

OpenStudy (troy121101):

so is 7

satellite73 (satellite73):

both dear, pick the numbers in both you have not received a correct answer yet, from either @Troy121101 or @Mrs.ambrose614

OpenStudy (reagan18):

thhaanks so when finding a set basically look at the numbers that are both in the set

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

Yep so would it be all three of these 3,5,7

OpenStudy (troy121101):

3, 5, and 7 then?

satellite73 (satellite73):

yes

satellite73 (satellite73):

"thhaanks so when finding a set basically look at the numbers that are both in the set" NO, not when "finding a set" when finding the intersection \(\huge \cap\) of two sets

OpenStudy (reagan18):

confused can you explain this alittle more @satellite73

satellite73 (satellite73):

yes the symbol \(\cap\) reads "intersection" or "intersect" so for example \[A\cap B\] reads "A intersect B" the elements of \(A\cap B\) are the elements, numbers, whatever, that are in both A AND B

OpenStudy (reagan18):

A∪B∪C can you also explain this?

satellite73 (satellite73):

so for example if \[A=\{\spadesuit, dog, \heartsuit, cat, lemon, orange\}\] and \[B=\{giraffe, \heartsuit, monkey, orange, dog\}\] then \[A\cap B=\{ \heartsuit, orange, dog\}\]

OpenStudy (reagan18):

ohhhhhh

satellite73 (satellite73):

A∪B∪C is a big set, it is all the stuff either in A or in B or in C everything

OpenStudy (reagan18):

ok so im gonna do this problem and see if can do it then ill ask you if i did it right it doesnt seem hard so one sec

OpenStudy (reagan18):

thak you again

satellite73 (satellite73):

ok btw \(\huge \cup\) reads "union"

satellite73 (satellite73):

\[A\cup B\] is the stuff in A or in B or in both

OpenStudy (reagan18):

with the union set i do the same like the intersection set ? its just a bigger group?

satellite73 (satellite73):

no, union is not intersection , that is why there is a different symbol for it doh

OpenStudy (reagan18):

iknow but like you saiid A∪B∪C is a big set, it is all the stuff either in A or in B or in C everything thats why i was asking

satellite73 (satellite73):

\[A=\{\spadesuit, dog, \heartsuit, cat, lemon, orange\}\]\[B=\{giraffe, \heartsuit, monkey, orange, dog\}\]\[A\cup B=\{ \spadesuit, dog, \heartsuit, cat, lemon, orange, giraffe, monkey\}\] EVERYTHING

satellite73 (satellite73):

yeah a big set, everything

OpenStudy (reagan18):

ohhh so everything in the sets

satellite73 (satellite73):

yes everything for union

OpenStudy (reagan18):

ok so i did Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4,}, B = {3, 4, 5, 6, 7}, and C = {2, 3, 5, 7} Find: A∪B∪C

OpenStudy (reagan18):

and my answerr

satellite73 (satellite73):

of you see a number, write it

OpenStudy (reagan18):

is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7

OpenStudy (reagan18):

7

OpenStudy (reagan18):

oh wait 7 isnt my answer that was an accident

satellite73 (satellite73):

yes all the stuff

satellite73 (satellite73):

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7

OpenStudy (reagan18):

ok great ! thank you so mucho

satellite73 (satellite73):
