Math Problem Statement

Use the given sets to find X ∪ (Y ∩ Z).

Solution

To solve X(YZ)X \cup (Y \cap Z) with the given sets, let's break down the problem step-by-step.

  1. Identify YZY \cap Z:

    • Set Y={a,d,j,u,s,t}Y = \{a, d, j, u, s, t\}
    • Set Z={s,u,b,j,e,c,t}Z = \{s, u, b, j, e, c, t\}
    • The intersection YZY \cap Z includes elements that are in both YY and ZZ.
    • Common elements in YY and ZZ are {j,u,s,t}\{j, u, s, t\}.

    So, YZ={j,u,s,t}Y \cap Z = \{j, u, s, t\}.

  2. Form X(YZ)X \cup (Y \cap Z):

    • Set X={j,o,k,e,r}X = \{j, o, k, e, r\}
    • We already found that YZ={j,u,s,t}Y \cap Z = \{j, u, s, t\}.
    • The union X(YZ)X \cup (Y \cap Z) includes all unique elements from both XX and YZY \cap Z.

    Combining the elements in XX and YZY \cap Z gives us: X(YZ)={j,o,k,e,r,u,s,t}X \cup (Y \cap Z) = \{j, o, k, e, r, u, s, t\}

Therefore, the answer is: X(YZ)={j,o,k,e,r,u,s,t}X \cup (Y \cap Z) = \{j, o, k, e, r, u, s, t\}

Would you like further clarification or additional details on any step?

Here are five related questions for further exploration:

  1. What is the union of YY and ZZ?
  2. How would you find X(YZ)X \cap (Y \cup Z)?
  3. If we add an element to XX, how does it affect X(YZ)X \cup (Y \cap Z)?
  4. What would XYZX \cap Y \cap Z look like?
  5. Can you determine (XY)(XZ)(X \cup Y) \cap (X \cup Z)?

Tip: When performing set operations, it’s often helpful to list elements in each set clearly to avoid missing any during union or intersection steps.
