Question

Union and intersection of sets

Answer 1

• Union

The union of a set A with a B is the set of elements that are in either set A or B. The union is denoted as A∪B. For example, if A is the set {♢,♡,♣,♠} and B is the set {△,♡,♠}, then A∪B={♢,♡,♣,♠,△}.

• Intersection

Intersection of two given sets is the largest set which contains all the elements that are common to both the sets. To find the intersection of two given sets A and B is a set which consists of all the elements which are common to both A and B. The symbol for denoting intersection of sets is '∩'.

Answer 2

The union of two sets contains all the elements contained in either set (or both sets). The union is notated A ⋃ B. The intersection of two sets contains only the elements that are in both sets. The intersection is notated A ⋂ B.
