What are you going to learn?
To state the concept of the union of sets To determine the union of two sets To draw the Venn diagram of the union of two sets To solve story problems on the union of two sets using a Venn diagram.
Key Terms:
union
Recall the sets you have learned before, namely: A = set of subjects tested in a elementary school (SD) that Ani had learned, or A = {PPKN, Bahasa Indonesia, Matematika} and B = set of subjects tested in a elementary school, or (SD) that Budi had learned B = {Matematika, IPA}. If we unite all subjects that either Ani or Budi had learned, then we get a new set, that is the set of subjects that Ani or Budi had learned, or {PPKN, Bahasa Indonesia, Matematika, IPA}, The set formed is called the union of set A and set B, written as A B.
Using the Venn diagram, you can draw the union of two sets as follows:
A PPKN
Science
Mat. B. Indon.
How can we form the union of two sets mathematically? Using the set-builder notation, you can state the union of two sets as follows:
Union
The union of two sets A and B is the set whose elements are elements of A or elements of B, or elements of both sets. The union of A and B is denoted by A B = { x | x A or x B }
Can you distinguish the intersection of two sets from the union of two sets?

If
A = the set of natural numbers not greater than 7, B = the set of odd natural numbers not greater than 7, then A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 } B = { 1, 3, 5, 7 } A B = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 } = A.

The shaded area shows A B Based on the above examples, it can be concluded that:
Property 3
If B A then A B = A
b. If the two sets are the same If A = the set of natural numbers less than 7, and B = { x 0 < x < 7, x is whole number }, then A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 } B = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 } A B = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 } = A = B. The Venn diagram is as follows:

Given A= the set of prime numbers between 1 and 10 B = { 2, 3, 5, 7 } Find AB. Solution: Because A = { 2, 3, 5, 7 } and B = { 2, 3, 5, 7 } then A B = { 2, 3, 5, 7 } = A = B. The Venn diagram is as follows:

Property of Union
If A = B then A B = A = B
If A = the set of odd natural numbers less than 10 B = the set of even whole number less than 10, then A = { 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 } B = { 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 } A B = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}.

Given
A = set of the square of the first six square natural numbers B = set of multiple of four of the first six
Find A B. Solution: Because A = { 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 } and B = { 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 }, then A B = { 1, 4, 8, 9, 16, 20, 24, 25 }. The Venn diagram is as follows:

Among 57 students, there are 40 students who like meatballs, 32 students who like soup, and 17 students who like both meatballs and soup. a. Draw the Venn diagram showing the data. b. How many students like meatballs or soup? c. How many students like neither meatballs nor soup? Solution: a. The Venn diagram is as follows. (Numbers show the number of students)

Given: B = set of students who like meatballs, T = set of students who like soup, B T = set of students who like meatballs or soup. b. The number of students who like meatballs or soup is (23 + 17+15) students or 55 students. c. The number of students who neither like meatballs nor soup is (57 - 55) = 2
Among 100 students of an SMP, the following data are obtained: 32 students like poultry farm, 30 students like farming birds, 20 students like cats, 8 students like poultry farm and farming birds, 7 students like poultry farm and cats, 9 students like farming birds and cats, and 5 students like poultry farm, farming birds, and cats Based on the data, a. draw the Venn diagram showing the data. b. determine the number of students who: 1) like poultry farm or farming birds. 2) like poultry farm only. 3) like only one kind of the three animals. 4) like farming birds, but do not like chicken. 5) like poultry farm, but do not like cats. 6) do not like any of the three kinds of animals. Solution: Given: A = set of students who like poultry farm, B = set of students who like farming birds, K = set of students who like cats. Then: a. The Venn diagram showing the data is as follows.
