Operation on

SETS
 UNION
It is the set of combined
elements of two or more
sets. The symbol is U.
A B
J = {b, o, a, r, d}
K = {e, r, a, s}
J U K= {b, o, a, r, d, e, s}
B = {s, c, i, e, n}
C = {e, n, g, l, i, s, h}
B U C= {s, c, i, e, n, g, l, h}
 INTERSECTION
It is the set of common
elements of two or more
sets. The symbol is ∩.
A B
J = {b, o, a, r, d}
K = {e, r, a, s}
J ∩ K= {a,r}
B = {s, c, i, e, n}
C = {e, n, g, l, i, s, h}
B ∩ C= {s, i, e, n}
 DIFFERENCE
It is the set of elements
found in the first set but
not on the second set.
A B
J = {b, o, a, r, d}
K = {e, r, a, s}
J - K= {b, o, d}
K - J= {e,s}
B = {s, c, i, e, n}
C = {e, n, g, l, i, s, h}
B - C= {c}
C - B= {g,l,h}
 COMPLEMENT
It is the set of elements found in
the universal set but not on the
given set. The symbol is an
apostrophe or superscript Ac.
U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
K = {1, 2, 5, 10}
G = {2, 4, 8}
K = {3,4,6,7,8,9}
c

G = {1,3,5,6,7,9,10}
c
 CROSS-PRODUCT
It is the collection of all ordered
pairs obtained by the product of
two non-empty sets.
K = {1, 2, 5, 10}
G = {2, 4, 8}
K x G= { {1,2}, {1,4}, {1,8}, {2,2},
{2,4}, {2,8}, {5,2}, {5,4}, {5,8},
{10,2}, {10,4}, {10,8} }
