Math Problem Statement

Use the Venn diagram to represent the set A ∩ B in roster form.

Solution

From the Venn diagram, we need to determine the intersection of sets AA and BB, denoted as ABA \cap B, which includes elements that are common to both sets.

Elements in each set:

  • Set A: {3, 5, 7, 12}
  • Set B: {7, 12, 14, 16, 19}
  • Universal Set (U): {3, 5, 7, 12, 14, 16, 19, 24, 27}

Intersection ABA \cap B:

The elements that appear in both sets AA and BB are 7 and 12.

Thus, the correct answer should be: AB={7,12}A \cap B = \{7, 12\}

However, the given answer in the image is {5,12}\{5, 12\}, which appears to be incorrect based on the diagram.

Tip:

In set theory, the intersection of two sets contains only the elements that are found in both sets. Always check for common elements carefully!
