GENERAL OBJECTIVE: SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:

2. Demonstrate the ability to reason 4. Determine elements in intersection,
logically. unions and complements of sets.
Content:

Introduction

Venn diagrams are the diagrams that are used to represent the sets, relation between the sets
their elements and operation performed on them, in a pictorial way.

Venn diagram, uses circles, to denote the relationship between sets.

In set theory, there are many operations performed on sets, such as:

 The Compliment of Sets

 Union of Sets
 Intersection of Sets
 Difference of Sets

Some operations have associated symbols, just as addition and subtraction would have. Let’s
look that the symbols below.
 Venn Diagrams Explanation
The Union symbol - U A U B is read as A union B.
Elements that belong to either set A or set B or
both the sets.
The Intersect symbol - ∩ A ∩ B is read as A intersection B.
Elements that belong to both sets A and set B.
The Complement symbol – A’ A’ is read as A complement.
Elements that don’t belong to set A.

The Complement

The complement of any set A can be given as A'. This represents elements that are in the
universal set, that are not in set A.

Using set builder notation that is written as

A’ = {x: x ϵ U but x ϵ A}

The shaded region represents A’.

Activity S3 O 4.1 Completed: Yes □ __________ Submitted: □ In- Class

a. Using the Venn diagrams below, label each of them using the information provided below.
1. Label one set mathematics, using the symbol, M.
2. Label one set English, using the symbol, E.
3. Label the Universal set with the symbol, U.
If U = {5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50}, E = {10, 15, 30} and M = {5, 20, 35, 50}.
Place this information into the Venn diagrams below and shade in the respective regions
using the set operation of complement.
4. On the first Venn diagram shade only the set M.
5. On the second Venn diagram shade only the set E.
6. On the third Venn diagram shade only the region that represents E’.
7. State the elements found in E’.
8. Using set builder notation, write the set of E’.
 The elements of E’ are _________________________________________________.

Set builder notation, E’ = _______________________________________________.

The Union of Two Sets

The union of two sets A and B is the set of all the elements that are in either A OR B.

Using set builder notation that is written as

A U B = {x: x ϵ A or x ϵ B or both}
