For exercise 88 and 92, let U = {x | x ∈ N and x < 10} A = {x | x ∈ N and x is odd and x < 10} B ={x | x ∈ N and x is even and x < 10} C = {x | x ∈ N and x < 6} Determine the following: 88. (B ⋃ C)’ (4 pts.) 92. (A ⋃ C) ∩ B (4 pts.)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

88. List the elements in B and C . Then you will find B U C Then compare with the elements in U. B = {2,4,6,8}

OpenStudy (welshfella):

what is C?

OpenStudy (haleyhirschhorn):

C = {x | x ∈ N and x < 6}

OpenStudy (welshfella):

right Now write it as a list of elements I guess you know that N = set of natural numbers?

OpenStudy (haleyhirschhorn):

yes but what is a list of elements?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

listing the elements in the set C is theset natural numbers which fit the condition given ( those numbers < 6)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

C = { 1,2,3,4,5}

OpenStudy (welshfella):

C = {x | x ∈ N and x < 6} means ' the set C consisting of values of x whose elements are natural numbers and are less than 6'

OpenStudy (welshfella):

∈ means 'is an element of'

OpenStudy (welshfella):

understand?

OpenStudy (haleyhirschhorn):

ah okay i do

OpenStudy (haleyhirschhorn):

what would this be? (A ⋃ C) ∩ B

OpenStudy (welshfella):

lwrite the set A as a list of elements then list union of A and C the required set is the intersection of this set and set B.

OpenStudy (haleyhirschhorn):

what would the union of A and C be?

OpenStudy (haleyhirschhorn):

hello?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

What do you get for A?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Lets do a simple example if set A = {1,2,3} and set B = { 1 , 5, 6} set ( A U B) = {1,2,3,5,6}

OpenStudy (haleyhirschhorn):

i dont understand what i should get for A.

OpenStudy (triciaal):

make sure for #88 you write the complement

OpenStudy (haleyhirschhorn):

whats a compliment ?
