Math Problem Statement

The exercise uploaded involves operations on sets such as unions, intersections, complements, and differences using the sets A, B, C, D, and E.

Solution

The exercise you uploaded involves operations on sets such as unions, intersections, and complements based on the universal set U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15}U = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15\} and subsets A,B,C,D,EA, B, C, D, E.

Here are the subsets:

  • A={1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15}A = \{1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15\}
  • B={1,2,7,8,11,12,15}B = \{1, 2, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15\}
  • C={3,4,6,7,8,10,14}C = \{3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 14\}
  • D={2,4,6,8,10,12,14}D = \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14\}
  • E={5,6,7,8,10,12,13}E = \{5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13\}

For the problems listed, I will solve a few examples:

  1. ACA \cup C (Union of AA and CC):

    • AC={1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,13,14,15}A \cup C = \{1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15\}
  2. DED \cap E (Intersection of DD and EE):

    • DE={6,8,10,12}D \cap E = \{6, 8, 10, 12\}
  3. CEC \cup E (Union of CC and EE):

    • CE={3,4,5,6,7,8,10,12,13,14}C \cup E = \{3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14\}
  4. ADA' \cap D (Intersection of the complement of AA and DD):

    • A=UA={2,4,6,8,10,12,14}A' = U - A = \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14\}
    • AD={2,4,6,8,10,12,14}A' \cap D = \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14\} (since A=DA' = D)
  5. BEB \cup E' (Union of BB and the complement of EE):

    • E=UE={1,2,3,4,9,11,14,15}E' = U - E = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 11, 14, 15\}
    • BE={1,2,3,4,7,8,9,11,12,14,15}B \cup E' = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15\}

Let me know if you'd like more details or the remaining exercises solved.

Here are five related questions:

  1. How do we find the complement of a set?
  2. Can you explain the difference between union and intersection operations?
  3. What does the result of a union tell us about the two sets?
  4. What does it mean if ABA \cap B is empty?
  5. How do we handle double complements in set theory?

Tip: When working with set complements, always subtract the set elements from the universal set to find the complement.
