Sets
Formulas:

1. Union AB {x | x A or x B}

2. Intersection: AB {x | x A and x B}

3. Complement: A{x U | x A}

In Problems 1–8 write the resulting set using the listing method.

1. {1, 2,3,5,8,13} ∩ {2,3,5,7,11,13,17}

{2,3,5,13}

2. {3,5,6,9,12} ∪ {4,6,8,9,14}

{3,5,4,6,8,9,12,14}

3. {a,b,c,d,e} ∩ {a,e,i,o,u}

4. {a,b,c,d,e, f , g,h,i} ∪ {a,e,i,o,u}

5. {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} ∩ {prime numbers < 10}

6. {2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16} ∪ {prime numbers < 10}
