Shaded region in terms of set notation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on expressing a shaded region in set notation, specifically the area that belongs to set B but not to set A. The correct representation is given as B - A, which denotes the difference between the two sets. An equivalent expression is also provided: B ∩ A', where A' represents the complement of set A. Both notations effectively convey the same mathematical concept.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic set theory concepts
  • Familiarity with set notation and operations
  • Knowledge of set complements
  • Ability to interpret Venn diagrams
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of set difference and its applications
  • Learn about set complements and their significance in set theory
  • Explore Venn diagrams for visualizing set operations
  • Investigate advanced topics in set theory, such as Cartesian products
USEFUL FOR

Students, mathematicians, and educators looking to deepen their understanding of set theory and its applications in mathematics.

It's the things which are in $B$ but not in $A$. So it is $B-A$.
 


An equivalent statement: B \cap A'
