已知数集A={a2,a+1,-3}与数集B={a-3,a-2,a2+1},若A∩B={-3},求A∪B.

问题描述:

已知数集A={a2,a+1,-3}与数集B={a-3,a-2,a2+1},若A∩B={-3},求A∪B.

∵数集A={a2,a+1,-3}与数集B={a-3,a-2,a2+1},
A∩B={-3},
∴a-3=-3,或a-2=-3,
当a-3=-3时,a=0,
此时A={0,1,-3},B={-3,-2,1},A∩B={-3,1},不成立;
当a-2=-3时,a=-1,
此时A={1,0,-3},B={-4,-3,2},A∩B={-3},成立.
∴A∪B={-4,-3,0,1,2}.
