If \(A=\{1,2,3\}\) and \(B=\{3,2,1\}\), what is \(A\cap B\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(\{1,2,3\}\)
The intersection consists of all elements that belong to both sets. The order is irrelevant in set notation, so \(B=\{3,2,1\}\) is the same set as \(\{1,2,3\}\). Every element 1, 2, and 3 is common to A and B. Therefore, \(A\cap B=\{1,2,3\}\), making option A correct.
