Hey, could someone explain what these symbols are? I came over these problems while reviewing Algebra 2
∩ means "intersection"......it is defined as the set of all the elements common to some n sets
U means "union".......it is the set composed of all the elements of n sets
A = { 1,2,3,4}
B = { 2,3,5, 6}
C = {3,4,6,7}
So.....B ∩ C = { 3, 6 } = {6, 3} [ the order doesn't matter] "A" is the answer
And C U A = { 1,2,3,4,6,7} "E" is the answer
Introducing Math Symbols for Union and Intersection. “There are two sets of symbols for 'union' and 'intersection'. One is the ∪ (union) and the upside down ∩ (intersection), and the other set is the ∨ and the ∧.
