You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The U stands for union, meaning a set that has all the elements of both united sets.
AUB={1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
The upside down U means intersection, meaning the set of elements common to both sets. The intersection of A and B is {3,4}.
The red circle represents set A. The blue circle represents set B.
