Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's break down and solve the set operations indicated in the image. The expressions involve basic set operations such as union (∪), intersection (∩), and complement (Aᶜ), and we'll apply set theory rules step by step for each question.
1.
- Apply De Morgan's Law to the second term:
- Now the expression becomes:
- By the associative property of the union:
- The result is a union of the three complements.
2.
- Apply De Morgan's Law to the first term:
- Now the expression becomes:
- By the associative property of the union, this simplifies to:
3.
- Apply De Morgan's Law to the first term:
- Now the expression becomes:
- By the associative property, this simplifies to:
4.
- This expression contains both union and intersection. By the precedence of operations, apply the intersection first: This represents the complement of both sets and . Now union this with :
In summary, here are the final expressions:
Would you like any additional details or clarifications?
Here are five related questions for practice:
- How would the operations change if union (∪) were replaced with intersection (∩)?
- Can you apply De Morgan’s Law to the expression ?
- What is the result of ?
- How does the order of operations (union and intersection) affect the result in set theory?
- What is the complement of ?
Tip: Always remember De Morgan's Laws when dealing with complements of unions or intersections. They simplify complex set expressions easily.
