Union of two sets means finding a set containing all the values in both sets. It is denoted using the symbol ‘∪’ and is read as the union. Example 1: If A = {1, 3. 5. 7} and B = {1, 2, 3} then A∪B is read as A union B and its value is, A∪B = {1, 2, 3, 5, 7} Example 2: If A = {1, 3. 5.7} and B = {2, 4} then A∪B is read as A union B and its value is, A∪B = {1, 2, 3, 5, 7} Example 3: If A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {2, 4} and C = {1, 3, 4} A∪B∪C = {1, 2, 3, 5} The union of the set can also be represented using the Venn Diagrams. For example, if we have set A and set B which have some values in common then their Venn diagram is represented in the image below, We can represent any set using the Venn diagram in the Venn diagram explained above the rectangle represents the Universal set, and set A and set B are represented using the circles. The common area of the two sets represents the intersection of the two sets and both the circles combined along with the common are...
