Solution

To solve for (ACB)B\left( A \cap C \cap B' \right) \cup B, we'll go through the problem step by step.

Given Sets:

  • Universal set U={f,g,h,p,q,r,x,y,z}U = \{f, g, h, p, q, r, x, y, z\}
  • Set A={f,g,h,q,r}A = \{f, g, h, q, r\}
  • Set B={q,r,x,z}B = \{q, r, x, z\}
  • Set C={h,p,q,z}C = \{h, p, q, z\}

Step 1: Find the complement of BB, denoted as BB'

The complement of BB contains all elements in the universal set UU that are not in BB:

B=UB={f,g,h,p,y}B' = U \setminus B = \{f, g, h, p, y\}

Step 2: Find the intersection of ACA \cap C

We now find the common elements between sets AA and CC:

A={f,g,h,q,r}A = \{f, g, h, q, r\} C={h,p,q,z}C = \{h, p, q, z\}

The intersection ACA \cap C is:

AC={h,q}A \cap C = \{h, q\}

Step 3: Find the intersection of ACBA \cap C \cap B'

Now we intersect AC={h,q}A \cap C = \{h, q\} with B={f,g,h,p,y}B' = \{f, g, h, p, y\}:

ACB={h}A \cap C \cap B' = \{h\}

Step 4: Find the union of (ACB)B(A \cap C \cap B') \cup B

Now we take the union of {h}\{h\} and B={q,r,x,z}B = \{q, r, x, z\}:

(ACB)B={h}{q,r,x,z}={h,q,r,x,z}(A \cap C \cap B') \cup B = \{h\} \cup \{q, r, x, z\} = \{h, q, r, x, z\}

Final Answer:

(ACB)B={h,q,r,x,z}\left( A \cap C \cap B' \right) \cup B = \{h, q, r, x, z\}

This is the result in roster form.
