QuestionLet the Universal set be the letters a through j:U={a,b,,i,j}j: U=\{a, b, \ldots, i, j\}. Let A={c,d,i,j},B={c,d,e,h}A=\{c, d, i, j\}, B=\{c, d, e, h\}, and C={a,d,h,j}C=\{a, d, h, j\} List the elements of the set (AB)C(A \cap B) \cup C \square

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? Find the elements that are in both *A* and *B*, and then combine those elements with the elements in *C*. Watch out! Don't mix up union and intersection!
Intersection means what they have *in common*, and union means *everything together*.

STEP 2

1. Find the Intersection
2. Find the Union

STEP 3

Let's **find** the intersection of *A* and *B*!
Remember, the intersection ABA \cap B includes only the elements that are present in *both* sets *A* and *B*.

STEP 4

Looking at our sets, A={c,d,i,j}A = \{c, d, i, j\} and B={c,d,e,h}B = \{c, d, e, h\}, we see that both sets contain the elements *c* and *d*.
So, AB={c,d}A \cap B = \{c, d\}.
Awesome!

STEP 5

Now, we need to find the union of (AB)(A \cap B) and *C*.
Remember, the union of two sets includes *all* the elements from both sets, without repeating any element.

STEP 6

We already know that AB={c,d}A \cap B = \{c, d\} and we're given that C={a,d,h,j}C = \{a, d, h, j\}.

STEP 7

So, when we combine these sets, we get (AB)C={c,d}{a,d,h,j}={a,c,d,h,j}(A \cap B) \cup C = \{c, d\} \cup \{a, d, h, j\} = \{a, c, d, h, j\}.
Notice how we only included *d* once, even though it appears in both sets!

STEP 8

The elements of the set (AB)C(A \cap B) \cup C are {a,c,d,h,j}\{a, c, d, h, j\}.
