Math Problem Statement

We consider the set E={1;2;3;4;5} . A is the subset of E constituted by even integers. B is the subset of E constituted by odd integers. C is the subset of E constituted by the powers of 2. What elements does D=(A∩C)∪B contain ?

Select one:

D=E

D={2;4}

D={1;3;5}

None of the proposed choices

D=∅

Solution

To solve for the set D=(AC)BD = (A \cap C) \cup B, we first need to define the sets AA, BB, and CC based on the set E={1,2,3,4,5}E = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}:

  1. Set AA (even integers in EE): A={2,4}A = \{2, 4\}

  2. Set BB (odd integers in EE): B={1,3,5}B = \{1, 3, 5\}

  3. Set CC (powers of 2 in EE): The powers of 2 in the set EE are: C={1,2,4}C = \{1, 2, 4\}

Next, we calculate the intersection ACA \cap C: AC={2,4}{1,2,4}={2,4}A \cap C = \{2, 4\} \cap \{1, 2, 4\} = \{2, 4\}

Now, we calculate DD: D=(AC)B={2,4}{1,3,5}={1,2,3,4,5}D = (A \cap C) \cup B = \{2, 4\} \cup \{1, 3, 5\} = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}

Thus, D=ED = E.

Answer: D=ED = E.

If you have any questions or need further details, feel free to ask! Here are some related questions:

  1. What are the properties of set operations such as union and intersection?
  2. How can we identify all the subsets of a given set?
  3. What is the significance of powers of integers in set theory?
  4. How would the result change if EE included negative integers?
  5. Can you provide examples of other set operations with different sets?

Tip: When working with sets, always list the elements clearly to avoid confusion, especially when performing operations like union or intersection.
