(a) A(BnB)=(AUB)(AUB)
(b) An(BUC)=(AnB)u(Ang)
(c) AU(BUC)=(AUB)U(AUC)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

U = {x: X € N, 1 < × < 15) = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15}

A = {2,4,6,8,10,12,14}

B = {3,6,9,12,15}

C = {5,10,15}

(a) Verify A(BnB)=(AUB)(AUB)

A U (B n B)

= {2,4,6,8,10,12,14} U ( {3,6,9,12,15} n {3,6,9,12,15} )

= {2,4,6,8,10,12,14} U {3,6,9,12,15}

= {2,3,4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15}

( A U B) n (A U B)

= {2,3,4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15} n {2,3,4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15}

= {2,3,4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15}

Therefore

A U (B n B) = ( A U B) n (A U B)

verifies

(b) Verify An(BUC)=(AnB)u(AnC)

A n ( B U C)

= {2,4,6,8,10,12,14} n ( {3,6,9,12,15} U {5,10,15} )

= {2,4,6,8,10,12,14} n {3,5,6,9,10,12,15}

= {6,10,12}

( A n B ) U ( A n C )

= ( {2,4,6,8,10,12,14} n {3,6,9,12,15} ) U ( {2,4,6,8,10,12,14} n {5,10,15} )

= {6,12} U {10}

= {6,10,12}

Therefore

A n ( B U C) = ( A n B ) U ( A n C )

verifies

(c) Verify AU(BUC)=(AUB)U(AUC)​

AU(BUC)

= {2,4,6,8,10,12,14}U{3,6,9,12,15}U{5,10,15}

= {2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,14,15}

(AUB)U(AUC)​

= ({2,4,6,8,10,12,14}{3,6,9,12,15})U({2,4,6,8,10,12,14}U{5,10,15})

= {2,3,4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15}U{2,4,5,6,8,10,12,14,15}

= {2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,14,15}

Therefore

AU(BUC)=(AUB)U(AUC)​
