SOLUTION

U is the universal set given as

U = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

and set A = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9] and B = [4, 5, 6, 7]

(a) A' means A prime or A compliment. That means the element in the universal set U, that is not in set A. And this becomes

A' = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10] that is all even numbers

(b) A n B means A intersection B, that is the elements that is "common" to both A and B

A n B = [5, 7]. Only 5 and 7 is common to both A and B

(c) A n B'. We have to find B' first

B' = [1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10]. That is elements in set U that are not in set B

So, A = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9] and B' = [1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10]

A n B' = [1, 3, 9]

(d) A' u (A n B) means A' union (A n B). It indicates elements you can see in both A' and (A n B) together. But the elements should not be repeated.

A' = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10] and A n B = [5, 7]

A' u (A n B) = [2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10]
