Q. Let P={1}P = \{-1\} and Q={7,5,3,1,1}Q = \{-7, -5, -3, -1, 1\}. What is PQP \cup Q?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) {1}\{-1\}\newline(B) {5,3}\{-5, -3\}\newline(C) {7,5,3,1,1}\{-7, -5, -3, -1, 1\}\newline(D) {7,5,3,1}\{-7, -5, -3, 1\}
  1. Concept of Union: Understand the concept of union of sets.\newlineThe union of two sets PP and QQ, denoted by PQP \cup Q, is the set of all elements that are in PP, or in QQ, or in both. It includes all the unique elements from both sets.
  2. Identify Elements: Identify the elements of set PP and set QQ. We have P={1}P = \{-1\} and Q={7,5,3,1,1}Q = \{-7, -5, -3, -1, 1\}.
  3. Combine for Union: Combine the elements of PP and QQ to form the union.\newlineSince the union includes all unique elements, we combine the elements of both sets without repeating any elements.\newlinePQ={7,5,3,1,1}P \cup Q = \{-7, -5, -3, -1, 1\}.
  4. Check Correct Answer: Check the answer choices to find the correct union. Comparing our result with the given choices, we find that: (A) {1}\{-1\} is not correct because it only includes elements from PP. (B) {5,3}\{-5, -3\} is not correct because it is missing elements from both PP and QQ. (C) {7,5,3,1,1}\{-7, -5, -3, -1, 1\} is correct because it includes all unique elements from both PP and QQ. (D) {7,5,3,1}\{-7, -5, -3, 1\} is not correct because it is missing 1-1, which is in both PP and QQ.
