Math Problem Statement
Given U = {a,b,c,d,e,i,o,u}, A = {a,b,c,d,e}, B = {a,e,i,o,u}, C = {i,o,u}, find the following sets.
A) A∪C=
B) A∩C=
C) (A∩B)′=
D) A′∪B′=
Solution
We are given the universal set , and the sets , , and . Now, let's find each set operation.
A) (Union of A and C)
The union of two sets contains all elements that are in either of the sets. So, Combining all elements, we get: Thus, .
B) (Intersection of A and C)
The intersection of two sets contains only the elements that are in both sets. So, Since there are no common elements between and , the intersection is empty:
C) (Complement of the Intersection of A and B)
First, find , which includes elements common to both sets: Now, the complement of (denoted ) is the set of elements in but not in :
D) (Union of Complements of A and B)
First, find the complements of and .
The complement of (denoted ) is the set of elements in but not in :
The complement of (denoted ) is the set of elements in but not in :
Now, the union of and is:
Summary of Results:
