Exercise · ZW-SET-OPERATIONS-004 · ★☆☆ Basic
Let the universe be \(U=\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8\}\) and \(A=\{1,2,3,4,5\}\). What is the complement \(A^{c}\)?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- D. \(\{6,7,8\}\)
Explanation
The complement holds what is in \(U\) but not in \(A\): 6, 7 and 8.
Review the concept: Set operations
Set operations combine two sets \(A\) and \(B\), inside a universe \(U\), to form another one: union, intersection, difference and complement.
\[A\cup B,\quad A\cap B,\quad A\setminus B,\quad A^{c}=U\setminus A\]
