Union and Intersection of a Set
A = {1 ,2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }
B = {2, 4, 7, 8, 9}
What elements does set A and set B have in common?

A = {1 ,2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }
B = {2, 4, 7, 8, 9}
What elements does set A and set B have in common?
Answer: { 2, 4 }
A = {1 ,2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }
B = {2, 4, 7, 8, 9}
Lets say for example that set C contains all the elements of set A and Set B, what are the
elements inside set C?
A = {1 ,2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }
B = {2, 4, 7, 8, 9}
Lets say for example that set C contains all the elements of set A and Set B, what are the
elements inside set C?
Answer: C = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 }
Union – the union of two sets ( A and B) is the set of all elements that belong to set A or
set B or both.
Denoted by A U B
sometimes called the sum of sets.

Intersection – the intersection of two sets ( A and B ) is the set containing all the
elements that belong to both A and B.
Denoted by A ∩ B
sometimes called the product of two sets.
