Which one of the following symbols represents the union of sets?
$\cup$
Which one of the following symbols represents the intersection of sets?
$\cap$
Which one of the following symbols represents the difference of sets?
$\setminus$
Which one of the following symbols represents a subset relationship between sets?
$\subseteq$
Which one of the following symbols represents a superset relationship between sets?
$\subseteq$
Set $A$ contains the elements {1, 2}, and set $B$ contains the elements {2, 3}. The union of sets $A$ and $B$ is equal to
{1, 2, 3}
If sets $A_1$, $A_2$, and $A_3$ are defined as $A_1={a,b,c}$, $A_2={c,h}$, $A_3={a,d}$, then the union of sets $A_1$, $A_2$, and $A_3$ is equal to
${a,b,c,d,h}$
The union of sets $A$ and $B$ is shown by the shaded area in the Venn diagram. If the union of sets $A$ and $B$ is equal to set $B$ union set $A$, then it follows that
$A \cup B = B \cup A$
The complement of set $A$ is defined as the set of elements that are not in set $A$. If the complement of set $A$ is denoted as $A'$, then the expression $(x \in A')$ is equivalent to
$(x \notin A)$
The union of three or more sets can be defined using the symbol $\bigcup$. For example, if $A_1$, $A_2$, $A_3$ are $n$ sets, their union $A_1 \cup A_2 \cup A_3 \cdots \cup A_n$ can be written more compactly as
$\bigcup_{i=1}^{n} A_i$
