Math Problem Statement

If S = {1 ≤ integers ≤ 12}, A = {1, 3, 5, 12}, B = {2, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11}, C = {1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8}, illustrate this information on a Venn diagram. Hence or otherwise, find: (i) A ∪ B, (ii) A ∪ C, (iii) B ∪ C, (iv) A ∩ B, (v) A ∩ C, (vi) B ∩ C, (vii) A', (viii) B', (ix) C'.

Solution

It seems you've uploaded a handwritten question about sets and Venn diagrams. Based on the text, you're given the following:

  • Set SS consists of integers from 1 to 12:
    S={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12}S = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12\}.
  • Set A={1,3,5,12}A = \{1, 3, 5, 12\}
  • Set B={2,6,7,8,10,11}B = \{2, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11\}
  • Set C={1,3,4,6,7,8}C = \{1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8\}

You are asked to illustrate this information on a Venn diagram and find the following:

  1. ABA \cup B
  2. ACA \cup C
  3. BCB \cup C
  4. ABA \cap B
  5. ACA \cap C
  6. BCB \cap C
  7. AA' (complement of A)
  8. BB' (complement of B)
  9. CC' (complement of C)

Let's first work on each of these set operations step by step.

1. ABA \cup B (Union of A and B)

This represents all elements that are in either set AA or set BB, or in both.
So,
AB={1,3,5,12}{2,6,7,8,10,11}={1,2,3,5,6,7,8,10,11,12}A \cup B = \{1, 3, 5, 12\} \cup \{2, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11\} = \{1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12\}.

2. ACA \cup C (Union of A and C)

This represents all elements that are in either set AA or set CC, or in both.
So,
AC={1,3,5,12}{1,3,4,6,7,8}={1,3,4,5,6,7,8,12}A \cup C = \{1, 3, 5, 12\} \cup \{1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8\} = \{1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12\}.

3. BCB \cup C (Union of B and C)

This represents all elements that are in either set BB or set CC, or in both.
So,
BC={2,6,7,8,10,11}{1,3,4,6,7,8}={1,2,3,4,6,7,8,10,11}B \cup C = \{2, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11\} \cup \{1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8\} = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11\}.

4. ABA \cap B (Intersection of A and B)

This represents all elements that are common to both sets AA and BB.
So,
AB={1,3,5,12}{2,6,7,8,10,11}=A \cap B = \{1, 3, 5, 12\} \cap \{2, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11\} = \emptyset (no common elements).

5. ACA \cap C (Intersection of A and C)

This represents all elements that are common to both sets AA and CC.
So,
AC={1,3,5,12}{1,3,4,6,7,8}={1,3}A \cap C = \{1, 3, 5, 12\} \cap \{1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8\} = \{1, 3\}.

6. BCB \cap C (Intersection of B and C)

This represents all elements that are common to both sets BB and CC.
So,
BC={2,6,7,8,10,11}{1,3,4,6,7,8}={6,7,8}B \cap C = \{2, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11\} \cap \{1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8\} = \{6, 7, 8\}.

7. AA' (Complement of A)

The complement of AA contains all elements in SS that are not in AA.
So,
A=SA={2,4,6,7,8,10,11}A' = S - A = \{2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11\}.

8. BB' (Complement of B)

The complement of BB contains all elements in SS that are not in BB.
So,
B=SB={1,3,4,5,12}B' = S - B = \{1, 3, 4, 5, 12\}.

9. CC' (Complement of C)

The complement of CC contains all elements in SS that are not in CC.
So,
C=SC={2,5,9,10,11,12}C' = S - C = \{2, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12\}.


Do you want any further clarification or specific steps, like creating a Venn diagram? Let me know if you need any further breakdown or help!

Here are some additional questions for further understanding:

  1. How do you visualize the union and intersection of sets in a Venn diagram?
  2. Can you list the elements in the complement of a set?
  3. How would you determine if two sets are disjoint using a Venn diagram?
  4. What would the union of all three sets ABCA \cup B \cup C look like?
  5. How do you represent the difference of sets in a Venn diagram?

Tip: When drawing a Venn diagram, remember that each circle represents a set, and the overlaps show the intersections. The space outside all circles represents the complement of the union of the sets.
