Exercise 17 Page 218

The symbol ⋂ indicates the intersection of two sets.

A ⋂ C =∅

Practice makes perfect
Since we have the symbol ⋂, we are looking for the intersection of the given sets.

A&={1, 3, 4} C&={2, 5, 7, 10} An intersection of two sets is the set that contains elements that are common in both sets. An element is in the intersection of A and C if it belongs to A and to C at the same time. Notice that sets A and C share no common elements. Therefore, the intersection of those sets is an empty set. A ⋂ C =∅
