Math Problem Statement

Write the elements of the sets and perform operations such as intersections, unions, and complements using sets A (prime numbers), B (odd numbers), C (factors of 12), and D (multiples of 3) from the universal set U (natural numbers less than 14).

Solution

Let's analyze the sets and operations from the image you've provided.

Definitions from the image:

  • U={xN,x<14}U = \{ x \in \mathbb{N}, x < 14 \}
    • Universal set includes natural numbers less than 14: U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13}U = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13\}
  • A={xxP}A = \{ x | x \in P \}
    • Set AA represents prime numbers: A={2,3,5,7,11,13}A = \{2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13\}
  • B={xx is an odd number}B = \{ x | x \text{ is an odd number} \}
    • Set BB includes odd numbers: B={1,3,5,7,9,11,13}B = \{1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13\}
  • C={xx is a factor of 12}C = \{ x | x \text{ is a factor of 12} \}
    • Set CC contains factors of 12: C={1,2,3,4,6,12}C = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12\}
  • D={xx is a multiple of 3}D = \{ x | x \text{ is a multiple of 3} \}
    • Set DD contains multiples of 3: D={3,6,9,12}D = \{3, 6, 9, 12\}

Answers to some of the provided operations:

  1. BCB \cap C: Intersection of sets BB (odd numbers) and CC (factors of 12)

    • BC={1,3}B \cap C = \{1, 3\}
  2. ADA \cup D: Union of sets AA (prime numbers) and DD (multiples of 3)

    • AD={2,3,5,6,7,9,11,12,13}A \cup D = \{2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13\}
  3. CC': Complement of set CC with respect to UU

    • C=UC={5,7,8,9,10,11,13}C' = U - C = \{5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13\}
  4. AA': Complement of set AA with respect to UU

    • A=UA={1,4,6,8,9,10,12}A' = U - A = \{1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12\}

Let me know if you would like further clarification or if you need solutions to the other listed operations.

Here are 5 questions to further practice:

  1. What is ABA \cap B, the intersection of sets AA and BB?
  2. Find BDB \cap D, the intersection of sets BB and DD.
  3. Determine ACA \cup C, the union of sets AA and CC.
  4. Calculate (AB)D(A \cap B) \cup D.
  5. What is (BD)A(B \cup D) \cap A'?

Tip: When working with sets, the Venn diagram is a helpful tool to visualize the relationships among different sets.
