Math Problem Statement
Let U = Universal set ={ a,b,c,d,e,1,2,3 } , A={2,1,3,a,b} , and B={c,1,d} . List the elements of the following sets. If there is more than one element write them separated by commas. A¯¯¯¯={
c,d,e }
A∪B¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯={
1, 2, 3, a, b, e }
A¯¯¯¯∩B¯¯¯¯={
e }
Solution
Let's break down each set operation step by step:
Universal Set (U):
Given sets:
1. (Complement of A with respect to U):
The complement of is the set of all elements in the universal set that are not in .
2. (Union of A and the complement of B):
First, find the complement of with respect to :
Now, take the union of and :
3. (Intersection of the complements of A and B):
We already found:
Now, take the intersection:

- How do you find the union of three sets?
- What is the symmetric difference of sets and ?
- How would the result change if was given?
- How do you represent set operations using Venn diagrams?
Tip: When calculating the complement of a set, always check which elements belong to the universal set but not to the specific set in question.
