Math Problem Statement
Find the set A ∩ (B ∪ C)'. Write your answer in roster form or as ∅, given the Venn diagram showing sets A, B, C, and the universal set U.
Solution
We are asked to find , where is the complement of in the universal set , and then intersect that set with .
Step-by-Step Process:
-
Find :
- From the Venn diagram, includes all elements that are in either , , or both.
- Elements in are: .
- Elements in are: .
- Therefore, .
-
Find the complement :
- The complement consists of all elements in that are not in .
- From the Venn diagram, the universal set includes: .
- Removing the elements of , we are left with .
-
Find :
- Now, we need to find the intersection of set with .
- Elements in are: .
- Intersecting with , we get .
