Exercise 15 Page 218

The symbol ⋃ indicates the union of two sets.

C ⋃ D ={1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10}

Practice makes perfect

Since we have the symbol ⋃, we are looking for the union of the given sets.

Sets

First, we will write D in roster form. D={1, 3, 5, 7, 9} A union of two sets is the set that contains all elements found in both sets. Therefore, the union of C and D holds all elements that are in both C and D. Note that a union only contains unique values, so if any elements exist in both sets, we will cross out the duplicates. D&={1, 3, 5, 7, 9} C&={2, 5, 7, 10} C ⋃ D &={1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10}
