Math Problem Statement

Given that u={x:xEN,x<25} A={even numbers <25} B={perfect squares <25} c={numbers divisible by 4<25} list the elements for a.(A’UB’)uC

Solution

Let's break this down step by step to solve for (AB)C(A' \cup B') \cap C.

Definitions:

  1. Universe Set (U):
    U={x:xN,x<25}={1,2,3,,24}U = \{x : x \in \mathbb{N}, x < 25\} = \{1, 2, 3, \dots, 24\}
  2. Set A (Even Numbers < 25):
    A={2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24}A = \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24\}
  3. Set B (Perfect Squares < 25):
    B={1,4,9,16}B = \{1, 4, 9, 16\}
  4. Set C (Numbers Divisible by 4 < 25):
    C={4,8,12,16,20,24}C = \{4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24\}

Step 1: Find AA' (Complement of A)

The complement of A is the set of elements in UU that are not in A: A=UA={1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23}A' = U - A = \{1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23\}

Step 2: Find BB' (Complement of B)

The complement of B is the set of elements in UU that are not in B: B=UB={2,3,5,6,7,8,10,11,12,13,14,15,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24}B' = U - B = \{2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24\}

Step 3: Find ABA' \cup B' (Union of A' and B')

The union of A' and B' is the set of elements that are either in A' or in B', or in both: AB={1,2,3,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24}A' \cup B' = \{1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24\}

Step 4: Find (AB)C(A' \cup B') \cap C (Intersection with C)

The intersection of ABA' \cup B' with C is the set of elements that are in both ABA' \cup B' and C: (AB)C={4,8,12,16,20,24}{4,8,12,16,20,24}={8,12,20,24}(A' \cup B') \cap C = \{4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24\} \cap \{4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24\} = \{8, 12, 20, 24\}

Final Answer:

The elements of (AB)C(A' \cup B') \cap C are: {8,12,20,24}\{8, 12, 20, 24\}

Here are some related questions for further exploration:

  1. What is the difference between a union and an intersection in set theory?
  2. How do you find the complement of a set?
  3. Can you list all the prime numbers in UU?
  4. What would ABA' \cap B' look like instead of ABA' \cup B'?
  5. How would the solution change if CC contained multiples of 5 instead of multiples of 4?

Tip: Always double-check the complement of a set by comparing the set with the universal set to ensure no elements are missed.
