Transcript text: Use the accompanying Venn Diagram, which shows the cardinality of each region, to answer the question below.
How many elements belong to set A but not set C?
There are $\square$ elements that belong to set A but not set C .
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the regions belonging to set A.
The regions belonging to set A are the ones inside the circle labeled A. These regions contain the numbers 2, 5, 6, and 7.
Step 2: Identify the regions belonging to set C.
The regions belonging to set C are the ones inside the circle labeled C. These regions contain the numbers 3, 5, 7, and 8.
Step 3: Identify the regions belonging to set A but not set C.
We are looking for the regions inside circle A but outside circle C. These regions contain the numbers 2 and 6.
Step 4: Calculate the number of elements in the identified regions.
Add the numbers in the regions identified in the previous step.
\(2 + 6 = 8\)
