Question

Sets B and D are subsets of the universal set U.
These sets are defined as follows.
U= {f, k, q, s, x, y, z)
B={k, q, x, y)
D = {f.q, x, y, z)
Find the following sets.
Write your answer in roster form or as Ø.
(a) BnD' = [
(b) (BUD)' = [

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) B ∩ D' = {k}

(b)  (B ∪ D)' = {s}

Given sets:

• U (universal) = {f, k, q, s, x, y, z}
• B = {k, q, x, y}
• D = {f, q, x, y, z}

Part (a)

$\begin{aligned}\sf B \cap D' & = \sf B \cap \left( \text{U}-D\right)\\ &= \sf \{k, q, x, y \} \cap \left(\{f, k, q, s, x, y, z \} - \{f, q, x, y, z \}\right)\\& = \sf \{k, q, x, y \} \cap \{ k, s \}\\ & = \sf \{k \}\end{aligned}$

Part (b)

$\begin{aligned}\sf \left(B \cup D\right)' & = \sf \text{U}-\left(B \cup D\right)\\& = \sf \{f, k, q, s, x, y, z \}-\left(\{k, q, x, y\} \cup \{f, q, x, y, z\}\right)\\& = \sf \{f, k, q, s, x, y, z \}-\{ f, k, q, x, y, z\}\\& = \sf \{s\}\\\end{aligned}$
