Math Problem Statement

Find and represent the sets A ∪ B, A ∩ B, and A \ B on the number line. The sets are defined as: A = {x ∈ R | x^2 - 1 ≤ 0}, B = {x ∈ R | 5/6 ≤ x ≤ 7/2}.

Solution

From the uploaded image, I see a mathematical task related to sets AA and BB, where the problem is to find and represent ABA \cup B, ABA \cap B, and ABA \setminus B on the number line. The sets AA and BB are defined as:

A={xRx210},A = \{x \in \mathbb{R} \mid x^2 - 1 \leq 0\}, B={xR56x72}.B = \{x \in \mathbb{R} \mid \frac{5}{6} \leq x \leq \frac{7}{2}\}.

Step-by-step Solution:

1. Analyze Set AA:

The inequality x210x^2 - 1 \leq 0 can be rewritten as: x21or1x1.x^2 \leq 1 \quad \text{or} \quad -1 \leq x \leq 1. Thus, A=[1,1]A = [-1, 1].

2. Analyze Set BB:

The inequality 56x72\frac{5}{6} \leq x \leq \frac{7}{2} describes an interval: B=[56,72].B = \left[\frac{5}{6}, \frac{7}{2}\right].

3. Operations Between Sets:

  • Union (ABA \cup B): The union combines all elements from AA and BB: [ A \cup B = [-1, 1] \cup \left[\frac{5}{6}, \frac{7}{2}\right]. ] Simplify the union: Since ( \frac{5}{6} \
