Union of sets

Union of sets

Let A and B be two sets. The union of A and B is the set of all those elements which belong either to A or to B or to both A and B.
We denote A union B by notation “A ∪ B”
Thus  A∪B = { x : x ∈ A or x ∈ B }
Clearly, x ∈ A ∪ B⇔x ∈ A or x ∈ B.
And,   x ∉ A ∪ B ⇔x ∉ A and x ∉ B.
In fig (iv) the shaded part represents A ∪ B.
Example
If A = { 1, 2, 3 } and B = { 1, 3, 7, 9}, then A∪B={ 1, 2, 3, 7, 9 }
