What does an apostrophe mean after a letter when talking about sets?

An apostrophe after a letter when talking about sets indicates the complement of that set.

Here's a breakdown:

* Set: A collection of distinct objects.

* Complement: The set of all elements that are not in the original set.

Example:

Let's say you have a set called "A" containing the letters {a, b, c}.

* A' (A with an apostrophe) represents the complement of set A. This would include all letters not in set A, such as {d, e, f, g, ...}

Important Points:

* Universal Set: The complement is defined in relation to a universal set, which contains all possible elements.

* Context: The meaning of the apostrophe depends on the context. It might be used in other ways within set theory.
