Math Problem Statement

Find the result of A ∩ (B' ∪ C) ∪ D, where U = {t, a, d, p, o, l, e, s}, A = {p, o, l, e}, B = {a, d, o, p, t}, C = {t, a, p, s}, and D = {l, e, a, s, t}.

Solution

The image you uploaded appears to contain a problem related to set theory. Here is what I can extract from the image:

  1. You are given four sets:
  • Universal set U={t,a,d,p,o,l,e,s}U = \{ t, a, d, p, o, l, e, s \}
  • Set A={p,o,l,e}A = \{ p, o, l, e \}
  • Set B={a,d,o,p,t}B = \{ a, d, o, p, t \}
  • Set C={t,a,p,s}C = \{ t, a, p, s \}
  • Set D={l,e,a,s,t}D = \{ l, e, a, s, t \}
  1. You are tasked to find: A(BC)DA \cap (B' \cup C) \cup D

To solve this, follow these steps:

Step 1: Find BB' (the complement of BB)

The complement of BB with respect to the universal set UU is: B=UB={t,a,d,p,o,l,e,s}{a,d,o,p,t}={l,e,s}B' = U - B = \{ t, a, d, p, o, l, e, s \} - \{ a, d, o, p, t \} = \{ l, e, s \}

Step 2: Calculate BCB' \cup C (union of BB' and CC)

Now, find the union of BB' and CC: BC={l,e,s}{t,a,p,s}={l,e,s,t,a,p}B' \cup C = \{ l, e, s \} \cup \{ t, a, p, s \} = \{ l, e, s, t, a, p \}

Step 3: Find A(BC)A \cap (B' \cup C) (intersection of AA and BCB' \cup C)

Next, calculate the intersection of set AA and BCB' \cup C: A(BC)={p,o,l,e}{l,e,s,t,a,p}={p,l,e}A \cap (B' \cup C) = \{ p, o, l, e \} \cap \{ l, e, s, t, a, p \} = \{ p, l, e \}

Step 4: Calculate the final union with DD

Now, find the union of A(BC)A \cap (B' \cup C) and DD: {p,l,e}{l,e,a,s,t}={p,l,e,a,s,t}\{ p, l, e \} \cup \{ l, e, a, s, t \} = \{ p, l, e, a, s, t \}

Final Answer:

The result of A(BC)DA \cap (B' \cup C) \cup D is: {p,l,e,a,s,t}\{ p, l, e, a, s, t \}

Let me know if you need further details or have any questions.

Here are 5 related questions to explore:

  1. What is the difference between union and intersection of sets?
  2. How do we define the complement of a set?
  3. Can a set's union ever be smaller than its intersection?
  4. How would the problem change if the universal set UU were different?
  5. How does set theory apply to probability and logic?

Tip: Always double-check the universal set when finding complements, as it directly affects the result.
