Math Problem Statement
If A={12,15,17,20,21}B={12,14,16,18,21} and C={15,17,18,22}then find A-B, B- C, C-A, B-A, A-A
Solution
Let's find each of these set operations:
1. (Elements in but not in ):
Finding elements in but not in :
2. (Elements in but not in ):
Finding elements in but not in :
3. (Elements in but not in ):
Finding elements in but not in :
4. (Elements in but not in ):
Finding elements in but not in :
5. (Elements in but not in ):
Since this represents the difference of a set with itself, it will always be the empty set:
