Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If set R = {1, 2, 3, 4} and set S = {3, 4, 5, 6}, what is the difference R - S?
  • Step 1: Identify the elements in set R, which are {1, 2, 3, 4}.
  • Step 2: Identify the elements in set S, which are {3, 4, 5, 6}.
  • Step 3: Look for elements that are in set R but not in set S.
  • Step 4: Check each element in R: 1 is not in S, 2 is not in S, 3 is in S, and 4 is in S.
  • Step 5: Collect the elements from R that are not in S, which are {1, 2}.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the difference R - S is {1, 2}.
  • Set Difference – The operation that results in elements that are in one set but not in another.
