Interval Sets 8545C1
1. The problem asks to find the intersection and union of given intervals using graphs.
2. Recall the definitions:
- Intersection $A \cap B$ is the set of elements common to both $A$ and $B$.
- Union $A \cup B$ is the set of elements in either $A$ or $B$ or both.
3. For the first pair: $[3, \infty)$ and $(6, \infty)$
- Intersection: Since $(6, \infty)$ starts at values greater than 6, the intersection is all numbers from just above 6 to infinity.
- So, $$[3, \infty) \cap (6, \infty) = (6, \infty)$$
- Union: The union covers all numbers from 3 to infinity because $[3, \infty)$ already includes everything from 3 upwards.
- So, $$[3, \infty) \cup (6, \infty) = [3, \infty)$$
4. For the second pair: $[2, \infty)$ and $(4, \infty)$
- Intersection: Numbers greater than 4 are common to both intervals.
- So, $$[2, \infty) \cap (4, \infty) = (4, \infty)$$
- Union: All numbers from 2 upwards are included.
- So, $$[2, \infty) \cup (4, \infty) = [2, \infty)$$
Final answers:
- $[3, \infty) \cap (6, \infty) = (6, \infty)$
- $[3, \infty) \cup (6, \infty) = [3, \infty)$
- $[2, \infty) \cap (4, \infty) = (4, \infty)$
- $[2, \infty) \cup (4, \infty) = [2, \infty)$
