INTERSECTIONThe intersection of two sets A and B is the set of all elements common to both set A and set B.
SET PERATIONS7INTERSECTIONExample:If A = {2, 4, 6, 8, } and B = {5, 10, 15, }
Then A B = { __________________ }.Describe A B using the rule method.SET PERATIONS8INTERSECTIONIf A B = , we say A and B are disjoint.
Example: Let V be the set of all vowels in the English alphabet and let C be the set of all consonants. What is V C?Hence, sets V and C are _____________.SET PERATIONS9INTERSECTIONA B

SET PERATIONSCROSS PRODUCTThe elements of A x B are called ordered pairs.
SET PERATIONS21CROSS PRODUCTExample:Let A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {a, b}.
Then A x B = { (1,a), (1,b), (2,a), (2,b), (3,a), (3,b) }.How many elements does A x B have?What is B x A?SET PERATIONS22CROSS PRODUCT
