Question

If K is the set of all letters in the word “equation”, and L is the set of all letters of

the word “inequality”, list all of the elements of the following sets.

K:
The question is to find all the elements in K and Y
Y:

Answer 1

K ∩ L = {a, e, i, n, q, t, u}

K ∪ L = {a, e, i, l, n, o, q, t, u, y}

Explanation:

Write the sets in alphabetical order

K = {a, e, i, n, o, q, t, u}

L = {a, e, i, l, n, q, t, u, y}

Set of all values that are members of both sets:

K ∩ L = {a, e, i, n, q, t, u}

Set of all values that are members of K, or L, or both:

K ∪ L = {a, e, i, l, n, o, q, t, u, y}
