OpenStudy (anonymous):

why don't we take it step by step, even though there might be a snappier way to do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you want \[(A\cup B)'\cap B\] so first lets find \(A\cup B\) and then we can find \(A\cup B)'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure got it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is we can find \((A\cup B)'\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so \(A\cup B\) is everything in A or in B or both what do you get for that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? huh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am asking if you know what \(A\cup B\) is in this case make a list of all things in A and also all things that are in B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1,2,3,...10

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Which set is 7 in? A or B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are a couple more make a complete list

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay good now delete the ones you have written twice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but you don't need to list an element twice, only once

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put back the list you had

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1,2,3,4,5,10 2,3,4,6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok now lets rewrite it as one list, with no elements repeated \[\{1,2,3,4,5,6,10\}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got that part? that is \(A\cup B\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay good now we find \((A\cup B)'\) which means everything in \(U\) that is NOT in \(A\cup B\) so take a look at \(U\) and pick out everything that is in \(U\) that is not in \(A\cup B\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i think i see where the confusion is the lazy grad student who wrote this question did not feel it worth their while to write out what \(U\) is exactly the first line of the question should have \[U=\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10\}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so your job is to pick out everything in \[U=\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10\}\] that is not in \[\{1,2,3,4,5,6,10\}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah one of those will be \(7\) that is right, but there are a couple others

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats 7 8 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the list, yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It said find the set that is in parenthesis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now we have \[(A\cup B)'=\{7,8,9\}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your final job is to find \[(A\cup B)'\cap B\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you tell me real quick ,I am getting timed out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is everything that is in BOTH okay sure, it is empty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't want to fail

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no failing is not fun but there is nothing that is in B and also not in B at the same time, so your answer is the empty set, which they want you to write as N

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So just write N

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you might could have seen this right away, since \((A\cup B)'=A'\cap B'\) and \[A\cap B'\cap B\] is empty since there cannot be anything that is both in \(B\) and not in \(B\)
