Math Problem Statement
Let U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}, A = {2, 3, 4, 6}, and B = {2, 3, 5}. Find the set A ∩ B.
Solution
We are given three sets in the problem:
- (the universal set),
- ,
- .
The task is to find , which is the intersection of sets and . The intersection contains the elements that are common to both sets and .
Steps:
- ,
- .
The common elements between and are and .
Thus, .

Here are 5 questions related to set theory for further exploration:
- What is the union of sets and ?
- What elements are in but not in (i.e., )?
- What is the complement of set with respect to the universal set ?
- How would you represent the union of three sets, say , , and another set ?
- What is the difference between a set intersection and a set union?
Tip: The intersection of two sets always includes elements that both sets have in common. If no elements are shared, the intersection is the empty set .
