Operation of Sets

• Set Intersection
• Set Difference
• Complement of Set
• Cartesian Product
SET UNION
An essential Set Union example:
mathematical When combining a set, we use
union symbol (∪ ).
and set theory
operation is A={2,4,6,8,10}
B={1,2,3,5,7,9}
Set Union. It C={11,12,13,14,15}
sets to
A∪B={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}
produce a new
set that A∪C={2,4,6,8,10,11,12,13,,14,15}
set's distinct
components.
SET INTERS ECTIO
Set Set Intersection example:
intersection When finding a common element
between two sets, we use
is a intersect symbol (∩).
fundamental
operation in A={red, blue, yellow}
B={orange, yellow, green}
mathematics C={purple, white, green}
and set
Finding the common element…
theory. It
involves A ∩ B = {yellow}
finding common A ∩ C = indefinite or null
B ∩ C = {green}
elements
between two
SET DIFFERENC
Set difference Set Difference example:
helps in
locating Includes only the elements
present in set A but not in set
components B.
• X-Y = { a, b ,c}
• Y-Z = {e, f, g}
COMPLEMENT OF SE
The set of all Complement of Set
example:
items in the
universal set If A consist of female names,
that are not then A’ consist of male names.
in A is known
A = { Alisa, Nely, Georgia}
as the A’= { Luke, Carlos, Victor}
complement of If B consist of even numbers,
a set, or A'. then B’ consist of odd numbers.
B = {2,4,6,8,10}
B’ = {1,3,5,7,9}
CARTESIAN PRODUC
The Cartesian Cartesian Product example:
product A × B Let’s say….
of two sets A A = {5,6}
and B is the B = { f, g }
set of all
The output will be…
possible
ordered pairs AxB = {(5f),(5g),(6f),(6g)}
(a, b) where a
is in A and b
is in B.
SHORT
ACTIVITY
1. K ∪ L
K = {1x,2x,3x,4x,}
//literally combining two sets in one
L = {5x,6x,7x,8x}
K ∪ L = {1x,2x,3x,4x,5x,6x,7x,8x}
2. B ∩ C
B = {24,67,90,14}
//finding similar element/s in both set.
C = {45,11,31,70}
B ∩ C = indefinite or null
//they have nothing in common.
SHORT
ACTIVITY
3. Y - Z
Y = {0,1,2,3}
//including the elements from the first
set only
Z = {1,4,5,6}
Y-Z = {0,2,3}
4. O x P
O = {person, object}
//set of all possible ordered pairs
P = {1,2}
