This document discusses key concepts in sets and Venn diagrams including:
1) The union of sets A and B contains all elements that are in A, B, or both.
2) The intersection of sets A and B contains the common elements that are in both A and B.
3) The difference of sets A and B contains elements of A that are not in B.
4) The complement of set A contains all elements of the universal set that are not in A.
It then provides two word problems to demonstrate applying these concepts.

Sets and the
Venn Diagram UNION of sets A and B, denoted by A U B, is the set that contains all the elements in sets A and B as represented by the shaded part of the Venn Diagram. INTERSECTION Set of A and B, denoted by A ∩ B, is the set that contains all the common elements to sets A and B. DIFFERENCE Set of A and B, denoted by A – B, is the set that contains all elements in A which are not in B. COMPLEMENT Set of A denoted by A’ , is the set that contains all elements in the universal set that are not in set A. World Problem In a group of 50 students, 20 likes Mathematics only.
