If set A contains seven distinct numbers and set B contains three distinct letters, how many elements are in (A U B)?​

<h3>Answer:  10 elements</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

Let's use an example to see why this is

A = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}

B = {x,y,z}

A U B = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7, x,y,z}

We simply glue the two sets together to form one single big set. Because sets A and B have no overlap, this means we dont have to worry about tossing out duplicates (since there aren't any).

There are 7 items in set A, and 3 items in set B.

Therefore, we have 7+3 = <u>10 items in set A U B</u>

The symbol U refers to the set union operator.

If you wanted to make a Venn Diagram, then you'd have two circles overlapping. In circle A will be the numbers 1 through 7. These values are not in the overlapped region. For circle B, the letters x,y,z are inside but not in the overlapped region. The overlapped region remains empty.

The set A U B talks about the collection of everything mentioned. It's the set of stuff in set A or in set B or in both sets.

-----------------

If you want a formula to write down on a notecard or reference sheet, then it would be

n(A U B) = n(A)+n(B)

where A and B are mutually exclusive, aka disjoint. This means they have nothing in the overlapped region

Fantom [35]

Answer:

A line segment is <u><em>always</em></u> similar to another line segment, because we can <u><em>always</em></u> map one into the other using only dilation a and rigid transformations

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A<u><em> dilation</em></u> is  a Non-Rigid Transformations that change the structure of our original object. For example, it can make our object bigger or smaller using scaling.

The dilation produce similar figures

In this case, it would be lengthening or shortening a line. We can dilate any line to get it to any desired length we want.

A <u><em>rigid transformation</em></u>, is a transformation that preserves distance and angles, it does not change the size or shape of the figure. Reflections, translations, rotations, and combinations of these three transformations are rigid transformations.

so

If we have two line segments XY and WZ,  then it is possible to use dilation and rigid transformations to map line segment XY to line segment WZ.

The first segment XY would map to the second segment WZ

therefore

A line segment is <u><em>always</em></u> similar to another line segment, because we can <u><em>always</em></u> map one into the other using only dilation a and rigid transformations
