Set A includes the number -2, and all the real numbers between -2 and 5, but not the number 5.
\n" ); document.write( "We could say that \"A=%22%5B-2%2C5%29%22\" .\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1. Find A U B and give the answer in interval notation.
\n" ); document.write( "The set A U B is the union of sets A and B,
\n" ); document.write( "so it contains all the real number that belong to A, or B.
\n" ); document.write( "That would include all the numbers in [-2,5) because they belong to set A.
\n" ); document.write( "A U B would also include [5,6] because those real numbers belong to set B.
\n" ); document.write( "A U B = \"%22%5B-2%2C6%5D%22\" because all the numbers in [-2,6] belong to either A, or B, or both and no other number.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "2. Write A n (intersection) B as one set using set builder notation
\n" ); document.write( "A (intersection) B included all the numbers that belong to both sets A and B, and no other number.
\n" ); document.write( "All the numbers between -1 and 5, not including -1 or 5, belong to A and belong to B, and therefore belong to the intersection of A and B.
\n" ); document.write( "Those numbers, and no other numbers satisfy \"-1%3Cx%3C5\" .
\n" ); document.write( "In set builder notation, that would be {x|x is a real number and -1\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
