Q. Let Q={−8} and R={−12,−4,6,8,14}. What is Q∪R?Choices:(A) {6,8,14}(B) ∅(C) {−12,6}(D) {−12,−8,−4,6,8,14}
Find Union of Sets: We need to find the union of sets Q and R. The union of two sets is the set containing all the elements from both sets, without duplicates.Q={−8}R={−12,−4,6,8,14}To find Q∪R, we combine all the elements from both sets.
List Unique Elements: We list all the unique elements from both sets Q and R.Q∪R={−12,−8,−4,6,8,14}We make sure not to include any duplicates and to list each element only once.
Check Given Choices: Now we check the choices given to see which one matches our result.(A) {6,8,14} does not include all the elements from Q∪R.(B) ∅ is the empty set and does not match Q∪R.(C) {−12,6} is missing several elements from Q∪R.(D) {−12,−8,−4,6,8,14} matches our calculated union of Q and R.
