What Are the Union and Intersection of the Sets (0, i)?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding the union and intersection of the sets defined as A_i = (0, i) for i ranging from 1 to infinity. The union of these sets, ∪ A_i, is the set of all positive real numbers, while the intersection, ∩ A_i, is the empty set. A user expresses confusion over the notation and mistakenly posted in the wrong forum, seeking guidance on how to visualize the sets. Suggestions include drawing intervals and observing their relationships to better understand the concepts. The thread emphasizes the importance of proper forum placement for relevant discussions.

Homework Statement


a) Find: \bigcup_{i=1}^{\infty}} A_ib) Find: \bigcap_{i=1}^{\infty}} A_i

Where A_i = (0,i), that is, the set of real numbers x with 0 < x < i

I was doing okay when they gave me A_i = {i, i+1, i+2, ...}, but now that they're giving me (0,i), and introducing x, I'm getting confused.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Just noticed that I placed this in the wrong forum. I usually come to the Physics forum, however this time I meant for Calculus.
Tried to find a way to delete or move it, but not finding a way.

If an admin finds this, just delete it. I'll post it in the proper forum.

Apologies.
 
Try making a picture. Draw a long line, this is the set of all real numbers. We indicate an open interval (a, b) by putting a bracket ( at the point a, and a bracket ) at the point b. Also see this webpage.
Now draw some intervals (0, 1), (0, 2), (0, 4) and look at their intersection and their union. Post a conjecture about the answer, we'll help you prove it.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
