Math Problem Statement

If R = {2, 5, 6, 8} and T = {6, 8, 9}, find the sets (A) {x | x∈R or x∈T} (B) R∪T.

Solution

Let's analyze and solve the problem shown in the image.

Problem Statement:

Given two sets:

  • R={2,5,6,8}R = \{2, 5, 6, 8\}
  • T={6,8,9}T = \{6, 8, 9\}

Find the following sets:

  1. {xxR or xT}\{ x \mid x \in R \text{ or } x \in T \}
  2. RTR \cup T

Solution:

  1. Set Notation for {xxR or xT}\{ x \mid x \in R \text{ or } x \in T \}

This expression represents the union of sets RR and TT, which means we need to include all elements that are in RR or in TT.

RT={2,5,6,8,9}R \cup T = \{2, 5, 6, 8, 9\}

So, {xxR or xT}={2,5,6,8,9}\{ x \mid x \in R \text{ or } x \in T \} = \{2, 5, 6, 8, 9\}.

  1. RTR \cup T

This is the same as the previous result because the union of two sets is represented by including all unique elements from both sets.

RT={2,5,6,8,9}R \cup T = \{2, 5, 6, 8, 9\}

Final Answers:

(A) {xxR or xT}={2,5,6,8,9}\{ x \mid x \in R \text{ or } x \in T \} = \{2, 5, 6, 8, 9\}

(B) RT={2,5,6,8,9}R \cup T = \{2, 5, 6, 8, 9\}
