Math Problem Statement

If A = {a, b, c, d}, B = {e, f, g, h}, U = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h}. Find i) A ∪ B ii) A'.

Solution

To solve the given problem:

Given:

  • A={a,b,c,d}A = \{a, b, c, d\}
  • B={e,f,g,h}B = \{e, f, g, h\}
  • U={a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h}U = \{a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h\}

You need to find:

  1. ABA \cup B (the union of AA and BB).
  2. AA' (the complement of AA relative to the universal set UU).

Solution:

i) ABA \cup B:

The union of AA and BB includes all the elements that are in AA or BB (or both). AB={a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h}A \cup B = \{a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h\}

ii) AA':

The complement of AA (AA') consists of all elements in the universal set UU that are not in AA. A=UA={e,f,g,h}A' = U - A = \{e, f, g, h\}


Final Answer:

  1. AB={a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h}A \cup B = \{a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h\}
  2. A={e,f,g,h}A' = \{e, f, g, h\}

Expanding Questions:

  1. What is the difference between union and intersection of sets?
  2. How is the complement of a set defined in set theory?
  3. What is the relationship between the universal set and its subsets?
  4. Can you define BB' for the given universal set UU?
  5. How would the solution change if ABA \cap B \neq \emptyset?

Tip:

To solve set problems quickly, draw Venn diagrams to visualize relationships.
