Concept:

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 to either A or B or both A and B.

The union of A and B is denoted by A ∪ B.

i.e A ∪ B = {x : x ∈ A or x ∈ B}

The Venn diagram for union of any two sets is shown below:

F2 A.K 23.5.20 Pallavi D1

 

Calculation:

Set A = {1, 2, 7, 9, 12}

x2 - 10x + 16 = 0

x2 - 2x - 8x + 16 = 0

(x - 2)(x - 8) = 0

x = 2, 8

Set B = {2, 8}

∴ Set (A ∪ B) = {1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 12}
