Answer 1

Based on the given alphabet A = {a, 1), the possible solutions are:

{ε, b} Explanation: The given set {ε} U {b} contains an empty string and the symbol 'b' only.

{a, b, ab} Explanation: The given set {a, b} U {ab} contains all possible combinations of the symbols 'a' and 'b', including 'ab'.

{a, b, ab, bb} Explanation: The given set {a, b, ab} contains all possible combinations of the symbols 'a' and 'b', including 'ab'. Adding the symbol 'b' separately results in {a, b, ab, bb}.

{ } Explanation: The given set {a, b, ab} does not contain the empty string, so { } is the only possibility for a set containing no strings.

L² = {bb, babb} Explanation: The given language L = {b, ab} contains the strings 'b' and 'ab'. The language L² is formed by concatenating two strings from L, giving {bb, babb}.

{aⁿ: n ≥ 0} Explanation: The given set {a}* represents all possible combinations of the symbol 'a', including the empty string.

{w: w contains at least one 'a' or 'ab'} Explanation: The given set {a, ab}* represents all possible combinations of the symbols 'a' and 'ab'. Therefore, {w: w contains at least one 'a' or 'ab'} is also a valid solution.

{aⁿ: n ≥ 0} U {b} Explanation: The given set {a}* represents all possible combinations of the symbol 'a', including the empty string. Adding the symbol 'b' separately results in {aⁿ: n ≥ 0} U {b}.

{aⁿbⁿ: n ≥ 0} Explanation: The given set {a}* {b} represents all possible combinations of the symbol 'a', followed by a single 'b'. Therefore, {aⁿbⁿ: n ≥ 0} is a valid solution.

{b, baⁿ: n ≥ 0} Explanation: The given set {b} {a}* represents all possible combinations of the symbol 'a' preceded by a single 'b'. Adding the symbol
