Practice Problemon set operations


Consider the following sets:

$ \begin{align} S_1 &= \left\{ \sin (t), \cos (t)\right\}, \\ S_2 & = \left\{ \sin (\frac{t}{2}), \sin (t+\frac{\pi}{2})\right\}. \\ \end{align} $

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

Answer 1

No, because a set must have unique elements; sin(t+pi/2) is basically cos(t). The union of both sets is a set with elements from both S1 and S2.
