Let A=(-2,3] and B=(2,INF). Find:

a.) AUB


b.)A(UPSIDE DOWN "U")B


c.)A\B


d.)B\A

I thought a was (-2,3] and b was (-1,2) and c was (-1,1) and d was (2, INF) but i think some are wrongly written or are missing symbols like U

i know U means union but im still not sure what symbols mean and how to go about even answering the problem. Thanks.

> > Include all of the members from both sets. < <

\(\displaystyle \text{Potentially, you are looking for it to be (-2, INF), but are
there gaps?}\)


b.)A(UPSIDE DOWN "U")B

> > Intersection. It is the set that includes only the common
elements from both sets. < <


c.)A\B \(\displaystyle \text{A not B. Remove elements from set A that are also
elements of set B.}\)


d.)B\A\(\displaystyle \text{B not A. Remove elements from set B that are also
elements of set A.}\)

Please explain your reasonings for your answers so they can be addressed.
