My teacher assigned homework today that says to "specify the intersection and the union of the given sets."

1 problem is :

{10,-6,-2} and {-2,2,6}

i believe what she is requesting is 2 venn diagrams.

one for intersection and one for the union.

I've made the diagrams to show -2 in the middle and the others on each side.

I know for a fact that we need to shade in part of the diagram, but I'm not sure which.

please help.

thank you.

The intersection includes the point -2, it is common to both sets. The union includes all data points, union means combined.
