If only the A region is shaded, how is it written in set notation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A ∩ B′
Only A means the elements must be inside A and outside B. The part outside B is B′, so the required region is A ∩ B′. This is also written as A − B. A ∩ B is the overlap, A′ ∩ B is only B, and A ∪ B′ includes additional regions, so option B is correct.
