Study Notes

Union of Sets

Union combines elements from two sets, including all distinct elements from both.
Symbol for union is ∪, indicating the inclusion of elements from either set.
Example: For sets A = {..., -3, -2, -1} and B = {0, 1, 2, 3,...}, A ∪ B yields the set of all integers.

Intersection of Sets

Intersection includes only elements found in both sets.
Symbol for intersection is ∩.
Example: For sets A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {2, 3, 4}, A ∩ B is {2, 3}.

Properties of Sets

A subset relationship indicates if all elements of one set are contained in another.
If D is a subset of C, then C ∩ D = D, meaning the intersection will equal the smaller set.

Empty Set

Intersection of mutually exclusive sets is the empty set.
Example: Sets E (odd numbers) and F (even numbers) have no elements in common, hence E ∩ F = ∅.

Operations in Set Algebra

Key operations include union and intersection.
Other operations may exist but are not defined in this context.

Set Matching Examples

For sets A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, B = {2, 4, 6}, and C = {1, 3, 5}:
- A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
- A ∩ B = {2, 4}
- B ∩ C = ∅

Specific Set Definitions

D = {x | x is a whole number}
E = {x | x is a perfect square between 1 and 9}
F = {x | x is an even number greater than or equal to 2 and less than 9}

Examples of Specific Set Operations

D ∩ (E ∩ F) reveals elements common to all three defined sets.
E ∪ F produces the union of perfect squares and specified even numbers.

Additional Set Operations

Union and intersection produce distinct outcomes:
- D ∪ F includes all whole numbers.
- D ∩ F may include even whole numbers within a specific range.

True Statements about Set Operations

Calculating intersections and unions provide insights into the relationships among defined sets.
The empty set can appear as a result of certain intersections.

Construction with Sets

Operations like A ∪ ∅ result in set A, while intersections with ∅ yield the empty set, demonstrating the identity and property elements of sets.

Conceptual Differences

Union represents all unique elements from two sets, while intersection focuses on shared elements.
Union is denoted by A ∪ B; intersection is denoted by A ∩ B.
