Math Problem Statement

Part II. Solve the following problem as required. Let U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}, A = {1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10}, B = {1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9} Find: 11. A' ___________________________________________ 12. A' ∪ B' ___________________________________________ 13. A' ∩ B' ___________________________________________ 14. (A ∪ B)' ___________________________________________ 15. B – A ___________________________________________

Solution

We will solve each problem step by step using set operations. The universal set is:

U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}U = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\}

The given sets are:

A={1,2,4,6,8,10},B={1,3,5,7,8,9}A = \{1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10\}, \quad B = \{1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9\}

Step-by-step Solutions:

11. AA' (Complement of AA)

The complement of AA consists of all elements in UU that are not in AA.

A=UA={3,5,7,9}A' = U - A = \{3, 5, 7, 9\}


12. ABA' \cup B'

First, find BB', the complement of BB:

B=UB={2,4,6,10}B' = U - B = \{2, 4, 6, 10\}

Now, compute the union of AA' and BB':

AB={3,5,7,9}{2,4,6,10}={2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10}A' \cup B' = \{3, 5, 7, 9\} \cup \{2, 4, 6, 10\} = \{2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10\}


13. ABA' \cap B'

Find the intersection of AA' and BB':

AB={3,5,7,9}{2,4,6,10}A' \cap B' = \{3, 5, 7, 9\} \cap \{2, 4, 6, 10\}

Since there are no common elements, we get:

AB=A' \cap B' = \emptyset


14. (AB)(A \cup B)'

First, compute ABA \cup B:

AB={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}=UA \cup B = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\} = U

The complement of ABA \cup B is:

(AB)=UU=(A \cup B)' = U - U = \emptyset


15. BAB - A (Elements in BB but not in AA)

Subtract AA from BB:

BA={1,3,5,7,8,9}{1,2,4,6,8,10}B - A = \{1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9\} - \{1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10\}

BA={3,5,7,9}B - A = \{3, 5, 7, 9\}


Final Answers:

  1. A={3,5,7,9}A' = \{3, 5, 7, 9\}
  2. AB={2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10}A' \cup B' = \{2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10\}
  3. AB=A' \cap B' = \emptyset
  4. (AB)=(A \cup B)' = \emptyset
  5. BA={3,5,7,9}B - A = \{3, 5, 7, 9\}
