Practice Problemon set operations


Consider the following sets:

$ \begin{align} S_1 &= \left\{ \frac{1}{2}, 1, 1.4, 2 \right\}, \\ S_2 & = \left\{ 0.\bar{9}, 1.40, \frac{42}{21}, 17\right\}. \\ \end{align} $

Write $ S_1 \cup S_2 $ explicitely. Is $ S_1 \cup S_2 $ a set?

Answer 1

All elements in the following union are distinct, therefore the union is a set.

$ S_1 \cup S_2 = \{ \frac{1}{2}, 0.\bar{9}, 1, 1.4, 2, 17 \} $
