Set Operations: Union and Intersection

The video tutorial explains how to find the union and intersection of intervals using number lines. It covers sets A and B, where A is greater than 3 and B is less than or equal to 5, and sets C and D, where C is less than or equal to -1 and D is greater than 4. The tutorial also includes an example with sets E and F, demonstrating the concepts of union and intersection graphically.

What is the preferred method for finding the union and intersection of intervals as introduced in the video?

• Graphically or by drawing number lines

• Using algebraic equations

• By guessing

• Using calculus

How is set A represented on a number line?
