A∩B=∅A \cap B = \emptyset

Step-by-step solution

Part 1· 2 steps

Find A U B

The union of sets A and B, denoted A U B, contains all unique elements present in either set A or set B.
Given:
A={2,(a,4),7}A = \{2, (a, 4), 7\}
B={3,4,(a)}B = \{3, 4, (a)\}

  1. Identify all unique elements from both sets.

    The elements in A are 2, $(a, 4)$, and 7.
    The elements in B are 3, 4, and $(a)$.
    Combining these unique elements gives: $2, 3, 4, 7, (a), (a, 4)$.

  2. Form the union set.

    A∪B={2,3,4,7,(a),(a,4)}A \cup B = \{2, 3, 4, 7, (a), (a, 4)\}
    A \cup B = {2, 3, 4, 7, (a), (a, 4)}


Part 2

A∩B=∅A \cap B = \emptyset

Find A ∩ B

The intersection of sets A and B, denoted A ∩ B, contains only the elements that are common to both set A and set B.
Given:
A={2,(a,4),7}A = \{2, (a, 4), 7\}
B={3,4,(a)}B = \{3, 4, (a)\}

  1. Compare elements of set A with elements of set B.

    • Is 2 in B? No.
    • Is $(a, 4)$ in B? No. (Note: $(a, 4)$ is an ordered pair, which is different from the number 4 or the single element $(a)$).
    • Is 7 in B? No.
  2. Compare elements of set B with elements of set A (as a double check).

    • Is 3 in A? No.
    • Is 4 in A? No.
    • Is $(a)$ in A? No.
  3. Identify common elements.

    Since there are no elements that appear in both set A and set B, their intersection is the empty set.
    A∩B={}A \cap B = \{\} or ∅\emptyset
    A \cap B = \emptyset
