Math Problem Statement

By using Venn diagram which represents the sets X, Y, Z, find: 1) (X ∩ Y) × Z, 2) (X ∪ Y) × (Z - Y)

Solution

The image asks for the interpretation of set operations using Venn diagrams for three sets XX, YY, and ZZ. The two set expressions to evaluate are:

  1. (XY)×Z(X \cap Y) \times Z
  2. (XY)×(ZY)(X \cup Y) \times (Z - Y)

Here’s a breakdown of each:

  1. (XY)×Z(X \cap Y) \times Z:

    • XYX \cap Y represents the intersection of sets XX and YY, which is the portion that belongs to both sets XX and YY.
    • When intersected with ZZ, you are looking for the part that belongs to both (XY)(X \cap Y) and ZZ.
  2. (XY)×(ZY)(X \cup Y) \times (Z - Y):

    • XYX \cup Y represents the union of XX and YY, i.e., all elements that belong to either set XX or set YY.
    • ZYZ - Y represents the difference, i.e., elements in ZZ but not in YY.
    • The final result is the intersection of the union of XX and YY with the set ZZ excluding YY.

Would you like a detailed step-by-step explanation of these operations? Here are some related questions to explore the concepts further:

  1. What is the difference between union and intersection in set theory?
  2. How do you visualize set operations on a Venn diagram?
  3. What does the difference operation (ZY)(Z - Y) represent in a Venn diagram?
  4. How can these set expressions be applied in real-life scenarios?
  5. How do Cartesian products relate to set operations?

Tip: Always remember that intersections focus on common elements between sets, while unions combine all elements from the sets involved.
