Suppose A={   is an element of real number:   } and B= ( ,  ]
 
=> = , , , , , , 
 
=> = , , , , , , , , 
 
 
1. Find A U B and give the answer in interval notation. 
 
means: the new set that contains every element from either of   and  
 
in your case   contains every element from   and some more, so union is actually  set  
 
  U  = = , , , , , , , , 
 
in interval notation: ( ,  ]
 
 
2. Write A (intersection) B as one set using set builder notation.
 
means: the new set that contains every element that is in both of the input sets; only things inside both of the input sets get added to the new set
 
in your case all elements of   are also elements of  , so intersection is actually  set  
 
 ∩ =  = , , , , , , 
 
 
{   is an element of real number:   }
