Math Problem Statement

U​ = { 4​, 5​, 6​, 7​, 8​, 9​, 10 ​}, A​ = { 5​, 6​, 9​, 10 ​} set A

Solution

Given the universal set U={4,5,6,7,8,9,10}U = \{ 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 \} and the subset A={5,6,9,10}A = \{ 5, 6, 9, 10 \}, let's explore the properties of set AA within the context of UU.

Analysis of Set AA:

  1. Elements of Set AA: The set AA consists of the elements 5, 6, 9, and 10.
  2. Subset Relationship: Since all elements of AA are also in UU, AA is a subset of UU, denoted as AUA \subseteq U.
  3. Complement of AA: The complement of AA in UU, denoted as AA' or UAU \setminus A, is the set of elements in UU that are not in AA. So, A={4,7,8}A' = \{ 4, 7, 8 \}
  4. Cardinality of AA: The number of elements in AA is A=4|A| = 4.
  5. Cardinality of UU: The number of elements in UU is U=7|U| = 7.

Relative Questions:

  1. What is the union of sets AA and AA'?
  2. How do you find the intersection of sets AA and AA'?
  3. What is the cardinality of the complement of set AA?
  4. Can you list all possible subsets of set AA?
  5. How would you represent set AA in terms of a Venn diagram?

Tip:

When dealing with sets, always ensure you clearly define the universal set UU as it provides the context for operations like complements and unions.
