Math Problem Statement
n left parenthesis Upper A prime right parenthesisnA′equals=7070
n left parenthesis Upper B prime right parenthesisnB′equals=100100
n left parenthesis Upper A prime union Upper B prime right parenthesisnA′ ∪ B′equals=120120
n(U)equals=150. what is A∩B'
Solution
We are given the following information:
We are asked to find .
Step 1: Use the formula for set complements
We know that:
This comes from the fact that the complement of is . Rearranging the formula to find :
Substitute the known values:
Step 2: Apply the inclusion-exclusion principle
The inclusion-exclusion principle for sets states that:
Substitute the known values:
Solve for :
Step 3: Find
We know that and are disjoint sets. Also, the union of these two sets is , so:
Substitute the known values:
Solve for :
Thus, .
Do you have any further questions or need more details?
Here are 5 related questions to expand on the topic:
- What is the difference between the complement of a set and the intersection of two sets?
- How does the inclusion-exclusion principle apply when dealing with three sets?
- How would you find using the given information?
- Can you calculate from the given data?
- How do you calculate the number of elements in the union of three sets?
Tip: Always keep the set operations' relationships in mind, like De Morgan’s Laws, when working with complements and unions.

n(A' ∪ B') = n(U) - n(A ∩ B)
n(A' ∪ B') = n(A') + n(B') - n(A' ∩ B')
n(B') = n(A' ∩ B') + n(A ∩ B')
