Question

Given sets X, Y, Z, and U, find the set Xn(X - Y) using the listing method.

X = {d, c, f, a}
Y = {d, e, c}
Z ={e, c, b, f, g}
U = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g}

Answer 1

{f, a}

Explanation:

Given the sets:

X = {d, c, f, a}

Y = {d, e, c}

Z ={e, c, b, f, g}

U = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g}

To obtain the set X n (X - Y)

We first obtain :

(X - Y) :

The elements in X that are not in Y

(X - Y) = {f, a}

X n (X - Y) :

X = {d, c, f, a} intersection

(X - Y) = {f, a}

X n (X - Y) = elements in X and (X - Y)

X n (X - Y) = {f, a}
