Math Problem Statement

Select the regions that correspond to the set (A ∩ B) ∪ C based on the given Venn diagram.

Solution

The problem asks to select the regions corresponding to the set (AB)C(A \cap B) \cup C, referring to the Venn diagram provided.

Let's break this down:

  1. ABA \cap B: This represents the intersection of sets AA and BB, which means elements that are in both AA and BB. In the Venn diagram, this corresponds to region V (the overlapping area of AA and BB).

  2. CC: This represents all elements in set CC. In the diagram, this includes regions IV, V, VI, and VII (the entire area within circle CC).

  3. (AB)C(A \cap B) \cup C: This represents the union of the two sets ABA \cap B and CC. In terms of regions, it includes all the regions that are either in ABA \cap B or in CC.

So, the regions corresponding to (AB)C(A \cap B) \cup C are:

  • Region IV
  • Region V
  • Region VI
  • Region VII

Would you like any further explanation or clarification?

Here are some related questions to explore:

  1. What would be the regions corresponding to ABA \cup B?
  2. What regions represent ACA \cap C?
  3. How would you represent BCB \cap C?
  4. What regions would represent (AB)C(A \cup B) \cap C?
  5. How would the regions change if you were asked for (AC)B(A \cup C) \cap B?

Tip: When solving Venn diagram problems, always work through the intersections and unions step by step to ensure accuracy.
