Answer

A∩B=∅A \cap B = \emptyset

A∪B=Z∖{0}A \cup B = \mathbb{Z} \setminus \{0\}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps

Here are the definitions of sets A and B, and their common set operations.

  1. Define set A.

    Set A is defined as the set of all xx such that xx is a positive integer.

    A={x/x∈Z+}A = \{x / x \in \mathbb{Z}^+\}

    This means A includes all integers greater than 0.

    A={1,2,3,4,… }A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, \dots\}
  2. Define set B.

    Set B is defined as the set of all xx such that xx is an integer and xx is less than 0.

    B={x/x∈Z and x<0}B = \{x / x \in \mathbb{Z} \text{ and } x < 0\}

    This means B includes all negative integers.

    B={…,−4,−3,−2,−1}B = \{\dots, -4, -3, -2, -1\}
  3. Find the intersection of A and B (A∩BA \cap B).

    The intersection of two sets contains elements that are common to both sets.
    Set A contains only positive integers. Set B contains only negative integers. There are no common elements between positive and negative integers.

    A∩B=∅A \cap B = \emptyset

    The intersection of A and B is the empty set.

    A∩B=∅\boxed{A \cap B = \emptyset}
  4. Find the union of A and B (A∪BA \cup B).

    The union of two sets contains all elements that are in either set (or both).
    Combining the elements of A and B:

    A∪B={…,−3,−2,−1,1,2,3,… }A \cup B = \{\dots, -3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3, \dots\}

    This set includes all integers except for 0. This can be written as the set of all integers excluding 0.

    A∪B=Z∖{0}\boxed{A \cup B = \mathbb{Z} \setminus \{0\}}
