Intersection Math Example 3

Follow the full solution, then compare it with the other examples linked below.

Example 3

easy
Let M={2,4,6,8}M = \{2, 4, 6, 8\} and N={1,2,3,4}N = \{1, 2, 3, 4\}. Find MโˆฉNM \cap N.

Solution

  1. 1
    Identify common elements: 2 is in both, 4 is in both.
  2. 2
    No other elements are shared, so MโˆฉN={2,4}M \cap N = \{2, 4\}.

Answer

MโˆฉN={2,4}M \cap N = \{2, 4\}
List only the elements that appear in both sets; an element in just one set is not included.
