(A u C) would refer to the union of A and C - and not the intersection.
The intersection of A and C (A n C) would be all the points in A, and
all the points in C, that are the same. (for example - if A contained
the # 4 - and C contained the # 4 - then that would be an
intersection) 'u' denotes union. (That's an easy way to remember it :D
) In this problem - the intersection of A and C (A n C) is {a, f, i}
The union of A and C (A u C) is {a, b, c, d, f, g, i, j} [When you're
talking about the union - you don't repeat values - I didn't write a,
f, or i twice.]
I hope I made sense through this...if not please let me know. :D Good luck
