Question

Suppose U = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 } is the universal set, and P = { 1, 3, 5, 7, } What is P?
A. { 2, 4, 6, 8 }
B. { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 }
C. { 1, 3, 5, 7 }
D. { 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 }

Answer 1

is it just "P" or the compliment of "P" which we can write as that you're looking for?

Answer 2

I just need the answer which is one of the choices up above.

Answer 3

Well, I can't exactly give you the right answer without knowing which kind of P we are looking for. Does it show just as "P" in the problem?

Answer 4

Yes, just a regular P

Answer 5

If that's the case. Then your problem states U = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 } in which we imagine as a whole set of numbers.

Answer 6

Then it states
P = { 1, 3, 5, 7, } where we can then imagine this:

Answer 7

So that is your answer to your question if it's just a "regular" P.

Answer 8

Thank you!
