Math Problem Statement
Let sets A and B be subsets of S, where: Set A = {1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 11, 12, 16, 17} Set B = {3, 4, 5, 7,9, 10,11, 13, 16, 17, 20} Find the following: LIST the elements in the set (An B°): (An B°) - [ Enter the elements as a list, separated by commas. If the result is the empty set, enter DNE LIST the elements in the set (Bn A°): (BnA) - [
Solution
Let's start by finding the sets and , which are the complements of sets and in (assuming is a universal set that contains all possible elements relevant to the problem).
1. Finding :
- is:
- is:
To find , we first find , the complement of , which consists of elements in that are not in . We then find the intersection of with .
However, since is not specified, we can determine relative to . So, let's first list the elements of :
Now, relative to will be the elements of that are not in :
Now, we find , which is the intersection of with :
2. Finding :
To find , we first find , the complement of relative to , which consists of elements in that are not in :
Now, we find , which is the intersection of with :
Final Results:
Do you want more details or have any further questions?
Here are five related questions:
- What is the union of and ?
- What is the complement of relative to , if is known?
- What is the difference (elements in but not in )?
- How do you find the symmetric difference ?
- What is the intersection of with another set , if is provided?
Tip: When working with complements of sets, always be clear about the universal set you're working in, as it determines the elements that belong to the complements.
