Math Problem Statement

If A = {t, u, x, e, d, o, s} and U = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z}, find A'.

Solution

To solve the problem in the image, we are tasked with finding AA', which represents the complement of set AA with respect to the universal set UU.

Definitions:

  1. Set AA: A={t,u,x,e,d,o,s}A = \{t, u, x, e, d, o, s\}
  2. Universal Set UU: U={a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z}U = \{a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z\}

The complement AA':

The complement AA' consists of all elements in UU that are not in AA. To find AA':

  1. Subtract the elements of AA from UU.
  2. Elements in AA: {t,u,x,e,d,o,s}\{t, u, x, e, d, o, s\}
  3. Remove these from UU.

Step-by-step Calculation:

From UU: U={a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z}U = \{a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z\} Remove {t,u,x,e,d,o,s}\{t, u, x, e, d, o, s\}, leaving: A={a,b,c,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,p,q,r,v,w,y,z}.A' = \{a, b, c, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, v, w, y, z\}.

Final Answer:

A={a,b,c,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,p,q,r,v,w,y,z}.A' = \{a, b, c, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, v, w, y, z\}.

Would you like me to verify or explain further? Let me know!

Here are 5 relative questions to expand your understanding:

  1. What is the difference between complement and union of sets?
  2. How can a Venn diagram represent the complement of a set?
  3. How do intersections and complements relate in set theory?
  4. What happens if AA is the universal set UU?
  5. Can complements be applied to infinite sets, and if so, how?

Tip: To quickly verify complements, count elements in AA, UU, and AA' to ensure A+A=U|A| + |A'| = |U|.
