Math Problem Statement
(A intersection B’) U (A intersectionB) U(A’ intersection B) U(A’ intersection B’)= (AUB)
Solution
Let's analyze the given expression and verify if it's equal to .
Given Expression:
Simplification:
-
First, let's break down each part:
- : Elements in but not in .
- : Elements in both and .
- : Elements in but not in .
- : Elements in neither nor .
-
Union of the first two terms:
Since is the universal set, this simplifies to:
-
Union of the last two terms:
Similarly, is the universal set, so this simplifies to:
-
Union of all simplified terms:
Since also represents the universal set, the final expression covers all possible elements in the universal set.
Now compare this to the right-hand side:
Since the universal set contains all elements, and is a subset of the universal set, we find:
Conclusion:
The given expression simplifies to the universal set, which is equal to . Therefore, the expression is indeed equal to .
