Math Problem Statement

Find (AnC)' using roster method.

U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

A = {1, 3, 4, 8}

C= {1, 2, 4, 5, 8}

correct: 0

Find (AnC) using roster method.

Solution

To find (AC)(A \cap C)' using the roster method, we will follow these steps:

Step 1: Find the intersection ACA \cap C

The intersection of sets AA and CC, denoted as ACA \cap C, contains all the elements that are present in both sets.

Given:

  • A={1,3,4,8}A = \{1, 3, 4, 8\}
  • C={1,2,4,5,8}C = \{1, 2, 4, 5, 8\}

Now, let's find ACA \cap C:

  • Elements common in both AA and CC are: {1,4,8}\{1, 4, 8\}

So, AC={1,4,8}A \cap C = \{1, 4, 8\}.

Step 2: Find the complement of ACA \cap C, denoted as (AC)(A \cap C)'

The complement of a set XX (denoted as XX') consists of all the elements in the universal set UU that are not in XX.

Given:

  • Universal set U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}U = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8\}
  • AC={1,4,8}A \cap C = \{1, 4, 8\}

Now, find (AC)(A \cap C)':

(AC)=U(AC)={2,3,5,6,7}(A \cap C)' = U - (A \cap C) = \{2, 3, 5, 6, 7\}.

Answer:

(AC)={2,3,5,6,7}(A \cap C)' = \{2, 3, 5, 6, 7\}
