Question

5. Suppose U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} is the universal set, and P = {1, 3, 5, 7}. What is p'? (1

point)
{2, 4, 6, 8)
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
O {1, 3, 5, 7}
{1, 3, 5, 7, 8)

Answer 1

Step-by-step answer:

U = universal set (all possible members)

P = given set

P' = complement of P, i.e. contains all members in U but NOT 1,3,5,7in P.

Thus, U=P or P'.

Here,

U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}

P={1,3,5,7}

so P'={2,4,6,8}

Check: P or P' ={1,3,5,7} or {2,4,6,8} = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} = U good !

Answer 2

p' = {2, 4, 6, 8}.

Explanation:

The set p' has all the elements in the universal set U that are not in set p.

p' = {2, 4, 6, 8}.
