Given:
R=(1,2,3,4,)
A=(0,2,4,6)
P=(1,3,5,7)
What is R U P
U= the symbol actually is an upside down U. We didn't learn this symbol so I do not know what to do.
Can you help?
answer choices are:
1) (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
2) (1,2,3,4,5,7)
3) (1,3)
4) (2,4)
Thank you for helping explain this to me
R∩P means find the set of members which are in both R and P.
You can type the symbol ∩ as follows:
& c a p ;
but omit all spaces.
The other symbol can by typed similarly as:
& c u p ;
For example, 1 is in both R and P. Can you find the other one?
3 is also in R and P
so the answer would be choice number 3
Thanks for explaining this, it really helped.
You're welcome! :)
Yes, I can help you with that. The symbol "U" represents the union of two sets. In this case, "R U P" means the union of sets R and P.
To find the union of two sets, you need to combine all the elements from both sets while eliminating any duplicates.
Let's find the union of sets R and P:
R = (1, 2, 3, 4)
P = (1, 3, 5, 7)
Combining both sets, we get (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7). This means that the union of sets R and P is (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7).
Now, looking at the answer choices:
1) (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) - This includes numbers that are not present in either R or P, so it's incorrect.
2) (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7) - This matches our result, so it could be the correct answer.
3) (1, 3) - This only includes elements from set P but is missing elements from set R, so it's incorrect.
4) (2, 4) - This only includes elements from set R but is missing elements from set P, so it's incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2) (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7) which represents the union of sets R and P.
