PLEASE HELP Given A and B, use your knowledge of sets to determine which one of the following numbers is not in
AUB.
A = {-10, 8, 12, 26, 29}
B = {-8, - 1,5, 26, 36}

A.18
B. -10
C. 26
D. 36
E. None of the above

Explanation:

The set A U B represents the list of items that are either in set A, set B or both sets at the same time. The "U" is the union symbol.

Set A U B looks like this

A U B = {-10, 8, 12, 26, 29,   -8, - 1,5, 26, 36}

I basically started with set A, then tacked on the stuff in set B shown in bold.

From here, we toss out the duplicate item 26 and we can optionally sort the set

A U B = {-10, -8, -1, 5, 8, 12, 26, 29, 36}

We see that the number 18 is not in this final set, which is why choice A is the answer.

Put another way: the number 18 is neither in set A nor set B, so it cannot be in set A U B.

Something like -10 is in set A, so it's going to be in set A U B as well. We can rule out choice B for this reason. Choices C and D follow a similar idea as choice B.

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
