Math Problem Statement

Use the Venn diagram to determine the set A ∪ B.

Solution

The Venn diagram in the image shows two sets, AA and BB. To determine the union of sets AA and BB (denoted as ABA \cup B), you need to include all elements that are in either set AA, set BB, or both.

Elements from the Venn diagram:

  • Elements in set AA: {1, 6, 8}
  • Elements in set BB: {6, 7, 14}
  • The intersection of AA and BB (common element): {6}

Union of ABA \cup B:

To get the union, combine all elements from both sets without repetition:

AB={1,6,7,8,14}A \cup B = \{1, 6, 7, 8, 14\}

Would you like more details on this process or any related questions?

Here are 5 questions you might consider:

  1. What is the intersection of two sets, and how does it differ from the union?
  2. How would you calculate ABA \cap B (intersection of AA and BB) from this diagram?
  3. If the sets had more elements, how would that affect the union operation?
  4. How can you visualize the complement of a set using a Venn diagram?
  5. Can the union of two sets ever be empty? Why or why not?

Tip: When working with Venn diagrams, always pay attention to overlapping regions to identify intersections.
