Q:

look at the sets below (1,4,8,12)(2,4,6,8) which of the following shows the union of the sets? (4,8) (1,4,8,12) (2,4,6,8) (1,2,4,6,8,12)

Accepted Solution

A:
Set 1: {1,4,8,12}
Set 2: {2,4,6,8}

We have to find the union of these two sets. The union of two sets contain all the elements that are either present in one set or in both the given sets. In case an element is a member of both sets, it is mentioned only once while writing the union.

So, the union of the two sets will be: {1,2,4,6,8,12}
4 and 8 occur in both sets, but will be written just once in the union set.

So, the answer will be {1,2,4,6,8,12}
