Venn Diagrams A Venn diagram is a useful technique for illustrating set relationships. • Named for John Venn. • Venn invented and used them to illustrate ideas in his text on symbolic logic. • 2. 3 -3 Copyright 2013, 2010, 2007, Pearson, Education, Inc.
Venn Diagrams A rectangle usually represents the universal set, U. • The items inside the rectangle may be divided into subsets of U and are represented by circles. • The circle labeled A represents set A. • 2. 3 -4 Copyright 2013, 2010, 2007, Pearson, Education, Inc.
Disjoint Sets Two sets which have no elements in common are said to be disjoint. • The intersection of disjoint sets is the empty set. • There are no elements in common since there is no overlapping area between the two circles. • 2. 3 -5 Copyright 2013, 2010, 2007, Pearson, Education, Inc.
Proper Subset 2. 3 -6 • If set A is a proper subset of set B, A ⊂ B. • Circle A is completely inside circle B. Copyright 2013, 2010, 2007, Pearson, Education, Inc.
Equal Sets If set A contains exactly the same elements as set B, A = B. • Both sets are drawn as one circle. • 2. 3 -7 Copyright 2013, 2010, 2007, Pearson, Education, Inc.
Overlapping Sets 2. 3 -8 • Two sets A and B with some elements in common. • This is the most general form of a Venn Diagram. Copyright 2013, 2010, 2007, Pearson, Education, Inc.
Case 1: Disjoint Sets A and B, are disjoint, they have no elements in common. • Region II is empty. • 2. 3 -9 Copyright 2013, 2010, 2007, Pearson, Education, Inc.
Case 2: Subsets 2. 3 -10 • When A ⊆ B, every element of set A is also an element of set B. • Region I is empty. • If B ⊆ A, however, then region III is empty. Copyright 2013, 2010, 2007, Pearson, Education, Inc.
Case 3: Equal Sets When set A = set B, all elements of set A are elements of set B and all elements of set B are elements of set A. • Regions I and III are empty. • 2. 3 -11 Copyright 2013, 2010, 2007, Pearson, Education, Inc.
Case 4: Overlapping Sets When sets A and B have elements in common, those elements are in region II. • Elements that belong to set A but not to set B are in region I. • Elements that belong to set B but not to set A are in region III. • 2. 3 -12 Copyright 2013, 2010, 2007, Pearson, Education, Inc.
Region IV • 2. 3 -13 In each of the four cases, any element belonging to the universal set but not belonging to set A or set B is placed in region IV. Copyright 2013, 2010, 2007, Pearson, Education, Inc.
Complement of a Set • 2. 3 -14 The complement of set A, symbolized A´, is the set of all elements in the universal set that are not in set A. Copyright 2013, 2010, 2007, Pearson, Education, Inc.
Example 1: A set and Its Complement Given U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} and A = { 1, 3, 4} Find A and illustrate the relationship among sets U, A, and A´ in a Venn diagram. 2. 3 -15 Copyright 2013, 2010, 2007, Pearson, Education, Inc.
Example 1: A set and Its Complement Solution U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} and A = { 1, 3, 4} All of the elements in U that are not in set A are 2, 5, 6, 7, 8. Thus, A´ = {2, 5, 6, 7, 8}. 2. 3 -16 Copyright 2013, 2010, 2007, Pearson, Education, Inc.
Intersection The intersection of sets A and B, symbolized A ∩ B, is the set containing all the elements that are common to both set A and set B. • Region II represents the intersection. • 2. 3 -17 Copyright 2013, 2010, 2007, Pearson, Education, Inc.
