Exercise 68 Page 768

The union of two sets is the set that contains all elements found in at least one of the sets.

{ - 4, 4, 5, - 6, 6, 7, - 8, 8}

Practice makes perfect
We are looking for the union of the given sets.

M&={ 4, 5, - 6, 7, 8 } N&={ - 4, 5, 6, 7, - 8} The union of two sets is the set that contains all elements found in at least one of the sets. Therefore, the union of M and N holds all elements that are in M or N. Note that a union only contains unique values, so if any elements exist in both sets, we will cross out the duplicates. M&={ 4, 5, - 6, 7, 8 } N&={ - 4, 5, 6, 7, - 8} M ⋃ N &= { - 4, 4, 5, - 6, 6, 7, - 8, 8} We found out that the union of sets M and N contains - 4, 4, 5, - 6, 6, 7, - 8, and 8.
