Math Problem Statement
Solution
The expression in the image is:
This is a set-theoretic expression involving the following operations:
- Difference (): The set of elements in but not in .
- Union (): The set containing elements from either of the involved sets.
- Intersection (): The set containing only the elements common to both sets.
- Complement (): The set of elements not in .
- Complement (): The set of elements not in ).
To simplify this expression step by step:
-
Start with the inner expression :
- Find the union .
- Subtract from the result of , which leaves elements in but not in .
-
Now focus on :
- Find the intersection between and the complement of (i.e., elements in but not in ).
-
Then compute :
- Find the intersection of the two sets calculated above.
-
Finally, compute the union :
- This gives the final set, which includes elements from and the result from the intersection of and .
