If A = {x : x is a factor of 10} and B = {x : x is a factor of 15}, what is A ∪ B?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15}
The positive factors of 10 are A = {1, 2, 5, 10}, and the positive factors of 15 are B = {1, 3, 5, 15}. The union A ∪ B contains every element that belongs to either set, writing repeated elements only once. Thus A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15}, so option A is correct.
