A

= 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 

B

= 5, 6, 8, 9 

C

= 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 

Find

Solution

We are asked to find A(BC)A' \cap (B \cup C), where AA' represents the complement of set AA relative to the universal set UU. Let's break down the solution step by step.

Step 1: Find AA'

The complement of set AA, denoted as AA', includes all the elements in the universal set UU that are not in AA.

A=UA={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}{1,3,4,5,6}={2,7,8,9}A' = U - A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9\} - \{1, 3, 4, 5, 6\} = \{2, 7, 8, 9\}

Step 2: Find BCB \cup C

Now we calculate the union of sets BB and CC. This includes all elements that are in either BB, CC, or both.

BC={5,6,8,9}{2,3,4,5,8}={2,3,4,5,6,8,9}B \cup C = \{5, 6, 8, 9\} \cup \{2, 3, 4, 5, 8\} = \{2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9\}

Step 3: Find A(BC)A' \cap (B \cup C)

Next, we find the intersection of AA' and BCB \cup C. This includes all elements that are in both AA' and BCB \cup C.

A(BC)={2,7,8,9}{2,3,4,5,6,8,9}={2,8,9}A' \cap (B \cup C) = \{2, 7, 8, 9\} \cap \{2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9\} = \{2, 8, 9\}

Final Answer

The solution in roster form is:

A(BC)={2,8,9}A' \cap (B \cup C) = \{2, 8, 9\}


Would you like further details on any step, or do you have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:

  1. What is the result of ABA \cap B?
  2. How would ABCA \cup B \cap C be evaluated?
  3. What is the complement of BB with respect to UU?
  4. Can you find (AB)(A \cup B)'?
  5. What is (AB)C(A' \cap B') \cup C'?

Tip: The complement of a set is all elements that are not in the set but are in the universal set, so it's useful to carefully define your universal set first.
