Full solution

Q. Let P={12,9,8,3,1}P = \{-12, -9, -8, -3, -1\} and Q={8}Q = \{-8\}. What is PQP \cup Q?\newlineChoices:\newline(A){9,8,3,1}\{-9, -8, -3, -1\}\newline(B){12,9,8,3,1}\{-12, -9, -8, -3, -1\}\newline(C){12,9,3,1}\{-12, -9, -3, -1\}\newline(D){8}\{-8\}
  1. Definition of Union: Understand what the union of two sets means.\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.
  2. Elements in Set P: List all the elements in set PP.P={12,9,8,3,1}P = \{-12, -9, -8, -3, -1\}
  3. Elements in Set Q: List all the elements in set Q.\newlineQ = {8}\{-8\}
  4. Forming the Union: Combine all unique elements from sets PP and QQ to form the union.\newlineSince 8-8 is already in set PP, adding set QQ to PP does not introduce any new elements. Therefore, the union of PP and QQ is the same as set PP.\newlinePQ={12,9,8,3,1}P \cup Q = \{-12, -9, -8, -3, -1\}
