,A is the set of cities in a regions B is the set of people who are now mayors of the cities in that
region correct answers The sets are equivalent because they
contain the same number of elements.
The sets are not equal because they do not contain the exact same elements.
A = {2,2,2,4,4,6,8,10}
B = {10,8,6,4,2} correct answers The sets are equivalent because n(A)=n(B)
The sets are equal because set A contains the exact same elements as set B.
Visual relationships among sets are shown by correct answers Venn diagrams
The set of all elements in the universal set that are not in set A is called the _________ of set A,
and is symbolized by _________. correct answers complement ; A'
The set of elements common to both set A and set B is called the __________ of sets A and B,
and is symbolized by __________ correct answers intersection; A ∩ B
The set of elements that are members of set A or set B or of both sets is called the _________ of
sets A and B, and is symbolized by _________. correct answers union ; A∪B

Disjoint sets are represented by circles that do not overlap. correct answers the statement is true
If set A is a proper subset of set B, the sets are represented by two circles where circle A is drawn
outside of circle B. correct answers The statement is false. If set A is a proper subset of set B, the
sets are represented by two circles where circle A is drawn inside of circle B.
,Equal sets are represented by the same circle. correct answers The statement is true.
As the number of elements in a set increases, larger circles are needed to represent the set.
correct answers False, the size of a circle does not need to be proportional to the number of
elements in its corresponding set.

(A ∪ B) ∩ (A ∪ C), begin by performing any set operations ________ correct answers inside
parentheses
The three sets in the Venn diagram will separate the universal set into ____ regions correct
answers 8
It can be proved that
(A∩B)′=A′∪B′, so this means that the complement of the intersection of two sets is the union of
the complement of those sets correct answers The statement is true because a theorem is always
true and
(A∩B)′=A′∪B′ means that the complement of the intersection of two sets is the union of the
complement of those sets.
