Re: Union and Intersection of Sets

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concepts of union and intersection of sets, specifically focusing on the sets A={1,2,3} and B={{1,2},3}. Participants are seeking clarification on how to compute the union and intersection of these sets.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks for help in determining the union and intersection of the sets A and B.
  • Another participant emphasizes the importance of showing work or thoughts when asking for help to facilitate better assistance.
  • A moderator reminds the original poster to provide their progress on the problem to enhance the learning process.
  • A later reply provides a general explanation of union and intersection using different example sets, but does not directly address the original sets A and B.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the specific union and intersection of the sets A and B, as the original question remains unanswered. Participants are focused on guiding the original poster rather than resolving the mathematical query.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks specific calculations or clarifications regarding the nature of set B, which is presented as a nested set. This may affect the interpretation of the union and intersection.

Hi farhan and welcome to MHB! :D

We ask that our users show their progress (work thus far or thoughts on how to begin) when posting questions. This way our helpers can see where you are stuck or may be going astray and will be able to post the best help possible without potentially making a suggestion which you have already tried, which would waste your time and that of the helper.

Can you post what you have done so far?

Also, I've moved your post into a new thread so the topic discussion can easily be referenced by other members. In future, please post your questions in their own thread. :)

Our mission here at MHB is not to do your work, but to help you figure out how to do it, so you actually learn by being part of the process, rather than simply being given the answer.

If you are given two sets $A$ and $B$, then the union of those sets $A\cup B$ is the set containing all elements found in either $A$ or $B$, while the intersection $A\cap B$ of those sets is the set containing all elements found in $A$ and $B$.

For example, suppose we are given:

$$A=\{1,2,3\}$$

$$B=\{2,3,4\}$$

Then we have:

$$A\cup B=\{1,2,3,4\}$$

$$A\cap B=\{2,3\}$$

Can you now post some progress on your question?
