Acquire New Knowledge 4.2

Venn diagrams, created by John Venn in 1880, visually represent the relationships between sets using circles. The document explains operations on sets including union, intersection, difference, and complement, providing examples for each. It also includes a section for determining specific set operations with given sets.

Venn Diagram

 Venn diagrams were created by John Venn in 1880. They are circles that show
commonalities and differences between two or more sets.
 A convenient way to visualize set relationships ia by using the pictorial
representation of Venn Diagrams. It usually consists of a rectangle which
represents the Universal set and circles within it to represent particular sets.
Example:
Given: U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9},
A = {1, 2, 5, 6} and B = {3, 9},
Draw a Venn diagram to represent these sets.

Operation on Sets
Union of Sets
 The union of sets A and B, denoted by ,is the 𝑈
set that contains all the elements that belong to
A or to B or to both. It is a set which consists of all
elements found in either set.
Example:
If A= {2, 4, 6} and B={ 0,3, 4} ,
then A B = { 0, 2, 3, 4, 6}. 𝐴 𝐵
Intersection of Sets
 The intersection of sets A and B, denoted by , is 𝑈
the set of elements common to both A and B.
Example:
If A= {2, 4, 6} and B={ 0,3, 4} ,
then A B = { 4}.

𝐴 𝐵
Difference of Sets
 A – B – is the set of elements in A which do not
belong to B.
Example: 𝑈
If A= {2, 4, 6} and B={ 0,3, 4} ,
then A B = { 2,6}.
 B – A – is the set of elements in B which do not
belong to A.
Example:
If A= {2, 4, 6} and B={ 0,3, 4} ,
then B A = { 0,3}. 𝐴 𝐵
𝐴 𝐵
Complement of a Set ( AC or A’ )
 The complement of set A is the set of all elements in 𝑈
the Universal Set (U) which do not belong to A.
Example:
If U= {1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} and A={ 3, 4} ,
then AC = { 1,2, 5, 6 7, 8, 9}.
𝐴
If U= {1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} and B={ 7, 3, 5, 8, 9} , then
BC = { 1, 2, 4, 6,}.

Consider the following:


U= {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
A= { 0, 1, 2, 3 ,4}
B= { 2, 4, 6, 8}
C= { 1, 3, 4, 8, 9}

Determine the following:

1. A B = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8}
2. A C= { 1, 3, 4}
3. B C C = { 2, 6}
4. A – B = { 0, 1, 3}
5. A B C = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9}
6. AC = { 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
7. (A B)C = { 5, 7, 9}
8. (A B ) AC = { }or Ø
9. (B C)C ( A C)C ={5, 7}
10. (A C) B = {2, 4, 8}
