What does ∩ mean in set theory?
The intersection operation
The intersection operation is denoted by the symbol ∩. The set A ∩ B—read “A intersection B” or “the intersection of A and B”—is defined as the set composed of all elements that belong to both A and B.
What is the meaning of this symbol ∩?
intersection
∩ The symbol ∩ means intersection. Given two sets S and T, S ∩ T is used to denote the set {x|x ∈ S and x ∈ T}. For example {1,2,3}∩{3,4,5} = {3}.
What is the symbol of universal set?
‘U’
A universal set is a set which contains all the elements or objects of other sets, including its own elements. It is usually denoted by the symbol ‘U’. Suppose Set A consists of all even numbers such that, A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, …} and set B consists of all odd numbers, such that, B = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, …}.
What does C mean in set theory?
complement of a
In set theory, the complement of a set A, often denoted by Ac (or A′), is the set of elements not in A.
What are the symbols in set theory?
Union of the sets A and B,denoted A∪B,is the set of all objects that are a member of A,or B,or both.
What are some examples of set theory?
Examples include Switzerland and some U.S. states, where frequent use is made of referendums and initiatives. The Swiss confederation is a semi-direct democracy. [178] At the federal level, citizens can propose changes to the constitution ( federal popular initiative ) or ask for a referendum to be held on any law voted by the parliament . [178]
