Math Problem Statement

Shade B' ∪ C on the Venn diagram.

Solution

The problem is asking you to shade the region representing BCB' \cup C on the Venn diagram.

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Set BB': BB' represents the complement of set BB, which means everything in the universal set UU except for the area inside circle BB. So, you'll need to shade all areas outside circle BB, including CC and any part of the universal set outside both circles.

  2. Set CC: The set CC includes everything inside circle CC.

  3. Union BCB' \cup C: The union \cup means we combine all regions that are in either BB' or CC. So, this means you will shade:

    • All of CC, including its overlap with BB.
    • All areas outside BB, but inside the universal set UU.

In summary, you will shade:

  • The entire region of CC (the right circle).
  • The region outside of BB, including the area around both circles.

Would you like more details on any part of this solution? Here are some related questions for you:

  1. How do we interpret BB' in relation to the universal set UU?
  2. What is the difference between union \cup and intersection \cap?
  3. How would you represent BCB' \cap C on a Venn diagram?
  4. What if the diagram had three sets instead of two? How would the union change?
  5. Can you explain the difference between a universal set and a subset?

Tip: When solving Venn diagram problems, it's helpful to first identify the regions that are being excluded by any complements (e.g., BB').
