Math Problem Statement

Shade B ∪ (C ∩ A')' on the Venn diagram.

Solution

The problem asks to shade B(CA)B \cup (C \cap A')' on the Venn diagram. Let's break this expression down step by step:

  1. AA': This represents the complement of set AA, meaning all the elements outside of set AA (in the universal set UU).

  2. CAC \cap A': This is the intersection of set CC and AA', which refers to the elements that are in set CC but not in set AA.

  3. (CA)(C \cap A')': This is the complement of CAC \cap A', meaning it includes everything in the universal set UU except the elements in CAC \cap A'.

  4. B(CA)B \cup (C \cap A')': Finally, this is the union of set BB and the complement of CAC \cap A'. So, you need to shade all the areas that belong to set BB as well as the areas outside of CAC \cap A'.

Now, referring to the Venn diagram:

  • First, identify CAC \cap A', which is the part of set CC that does not overlap with set AA.
  • Then, take the complement of that region, which would be everything except that part of set CC and outside of set AA.
  • Finally, shade all of set BB in the diagram and also include the regions that are part of the complement of CAC \cap A'.

This approach will give you the correct shaded area for B(CA)B \cup (C \cap A')'.
