The sets F and H are given below.

Answer:

F ∪ H = {c, d, e, f, g, h}

F ∩ H = { }

Step-by-step explanation:

The union is the list of elements that are in either of the two sets.

F ∪ H = {c, d, e, f, g, h}

The intersection is the list of only those elements that appear in both sets. (There are none.)

F ∩ H = { } . . . . the empty set
