Question statement

Consider the sets and B = ${B}$ . Find the union, intersection and set differences below. Use the NUMBAS syntax set(1,2,3) for $\left\{1,2,3\right\}$ .

Give any introductory information the student needs.

			Name	Type	Generated Value

listA	list	[ 9, 8, 7, 6 ]
listB	list	[ 3, 4, 1, 4 ]
A	set	set(9,8,7,6,2,4)
B	set	set(3,4,1,2)
listN	list	[ 2, 4 ]

Automatically regenerate variables?

Description

Describe what this variable represents, and list any assumptions made about its value.

Can an exam override the value of this variable?

Generated value: `list`

[ 9, 8, 7, 6 ]

This variable doesn't seem to be used anywhere.

Advice

The union of two sets is the set of elements from either set

$A \cup B = \left\{ x\, |\, x \in A \text{ or } x \in B\right\}$

The intersetction of two sets is the set of elements common to both sets

$A \cap B = \left\{ x\, |\, x \in A \text{ and } x \in B\right\}$

The difference $A-B$ is the set of elements from $A$ which are not in $B$ :

$A - B = \left\{ x \in A |\, x \notin B\right\}$

Similarly, the difference $B-A$ is the set of elements from $B$ which are not in $A$ :

$B - A = \left\{ x \in B |\, x \notin A\right\}$

The symmetric difference $A \Delta B$ is the union of the set differences, but it can also be expressed as the union minus the intersection

$A \Delta B = (A \cup B) - (A \cap B)$ .

Give a worked solution to the whole question.
