Part A:


B\cap D is asking for what the sets B and D have in common:


B\cap D = \{4\}

since B and D only have 4 in common.

Now
(B \cap D)' is asking for all of the things in the universal set
U that are not in
B\cap D. That's what the little tick mark on the right side means.


(B \cap D)' = \{2, 3, 6, 7\}

Part B:


B' = \{2, 3, 7\} since those are the things not in B.


D=\{3, 4\}


B'\cup D is asking for all the things in either
B' or
D.


B'\cup D = \{2, 3, 4, 7\}

(We don't need to list 3 twice, even though it was in both sets. )
