Let X
and Y
be sets:
X = \{A\}
Y = \{B\}
\{
\}
What is the set X \cup Y
?
Remember that \cup
refers to the union of sets.
The union of two sets X
and Y
is the collection of elements which are in X
or in Y
or in both X
and Y
.
The members of a set must be unique, and the order doesn't matter.
X \cup Y = \{ANSWER\}
What is the set X \setminus Y
?
Remember that \backslash
refers to the difference between sets.
The difference of two sets X
and Y
is the collection of elements which are in X
but not in Y
.
The members of a set must be unique, and the order doesn't matter.
X \setminus Y = \{ANSWER\}
What is the set X \cap Y
?
Remember that \cap
refers to the intersection of sets.
The intersection of two sets X
and Y
is the collection of elements which are in X
and also in Y
.
The members of a set must be unique, and the order doesn't matter.
X \cap Y = \{ANSWER\}
