Answer:

C. {1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10}

Explanation:

Given sets:


  • \text{U}=\n

  • A=\{3,4,5,7,8\}

  • B=\{2,4,6,8,10}

"Z" represents the set of all integers. An integer is a whole number (not a fractional or decimal number) that can be positive, negative, or zero.

Therefore, the universal set is:

  • U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

A' means the complement of set A.

The complement of a set refers to all the elements that are not in the given set. So in this context, elements that are in the universal set but not in set A. Therefore:

  • A' = {1, 2, 6, 9, 10}

The symbol ∪ represents the union of sets.

The union of two sets is a new set that contains all the elements that are in either set or in both sets.

Solution


\begin{aligned}\sf A' \cup B&=(\text{U}-A) \cup B\\&=\left(\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\}-\{3,4,5,7,8\}\right) \cup \{2,4,6,8,10\}\\&=\{1, 2, 6, 9, 10\} \cup \{2,4,6,8,10\}\\&=\{1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10\}\end{aligned}
