Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to express each target set using the provided sets , , , and the universal set , with operations including union, intersection, absolute difference, and relative difference.
Given sets:
We need to find expressions for the sets:
- (a)
- (b)
Solution
(a) Set
-
Identify common elements in sets:
- is in .
- is in , , and .
- is in and .
-
Construct an expression:
- Since is common to all three sets, we need to isolate and appropriately. We can start by considering intersections and relative differences.
- A possible approach:
This will yield the set .
(b) Set
-
Identify common elements:
- and are in .
- and are in .
- and are only in the universal set but not in , , or .
-
Construct an expression:
- Start by considering the elements that are not in but are in , which can be represented as .
Thus, we can write the expression as:
Final Answers
- (a)
- (b)
