Lesson Operation of Sets
So, the complement helps us find all the things that are
outside the box (Set A) and don't belong to the set we are
interested in.
Formally, the union of sets A and B
UNION OF SETS is represented as:
Solution: A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
INTERSECTION OF SETS Formally, the intersection of sets A
and B is represented as:
The intersection of two
or more sets is another A∩B
fundamental operation in
set theory. It is denoted This means it includes only those
by the symbol "∩" and elements that exist in both set A

containing all the
elements that are For example, consider two sets:
common to all the given Set A = {1, 2, 3} Set B = {3, 4, 5}
sets.
Solution: A ∩ B = {3}
SET DIFFERENCE Example: Let A and B be the sets
given by
The set difference, also
known as the relative A = {c, h, a, r, i, t, y},
complement, is another B = {f, a, i, t, h}
essential operation in set
theory. It is denoted by Find the following:
the symbol "" or 1. A - B 2. B - A

not in the other. 2. B - A = {f}.
it is used to visualize
relationships and operations
between sets.
VENN DIAGRAM
JOHN VENN
introduced the Venn
diagram during 1880.
HOW CAN VENN DIAGRAMS HELP US VISUALIZE
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DIFFERENT SETS AND THEIR
OPERATIONS?
Venn diagrams are a visual representation of relationships between
two or more sets of data. They are used to illustrate how different
groups overlap and intersect with each other, allowing us to gain
insight into the similarities and differences between them.
Here are some ways Venn diagrams can help us visualize relationships
between different sets and their operations:
1. Compare and Contrast
2. Set Operations
3. Problem Solvings
