Front

If A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {2, 3, 4}, what is A ∪ B?

Back

A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4}.

Front

If A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {2, 3, 4}, what is A ∩ B?

Back

A ∩ B = {2, 3}.

Front

What does A ⊂ B mean?

Back

A ⊂ B means that set A is a subset of set B, meaning all elements of A are also in B.

Front

What does A ⊄ B mean?

Back

A ⊄ B means that set A is not a subset of set B, meaning there is at least one element in A that is not in B.

Front

If A = {1, 3, 5} and B = {2, 4, 6}, what is A ∩ B?

Back

A ∩ B = {} (the empty set).

Front

What is the symbol for the empty set?

Back

The empty set is denoted by the symbol ∅.
