Math Problem Statement
Let A = { 1, 2, 3 } and B = { 1, 2 }. What are :
- space A union B
- space A intersection B
- space A minus B
- space B minus A
- space A blank straight capital delta blank B
Solution
Given the sets and , let's find the following:
-
(A union B):
The union of sets and contains all elements from both sets without duplication.
-
(A intersection B):
The intersection of sets and contains only the elements common to both sets.
-
(A minus B):
The set difference contains elements that are in but not in .
-
(B minus A):
The set difference contains elements that are in but not in .
(no elements are in that are not in ) -
(A symmetric difference B):
The symmetric difference of sets and contains elements that are in either or but not in both.

A ∪ B = {x | x ∈ A or x ∈ B}
A ∩ B = {x | x ∈ A and x ∈ B}
A - B = {x | x ∈ A and x ∉ B}
B - A = {x | x ∈ B and x ∉ A}
A Δ B = (A - B) ∪ (B - A)
