Understand the Problem

The question asks to find the intersection of the complement of set A (denoted as A') with the union of sets C and B (denoted as CUB). The universal set U and sets A, B, and C are defined, and we need to express the answer in roster form (listing all elements) or as the empty set (Ø).

Answer

$\{h, x, y, z\}$
Answer for screen readers

${h, x, y, z}$

Steps to Solve

  1. Find A' (the complement of A) The complement of A (A') consists of all elements in the universal set U that are not in A. $U = {f, g, h, p, q, r, x, y, z}$ $A = {f, g, p, q}$ $A' = U - A = {h, r, x, y, z}$

  2. Find C ∪ B (the union of C and B) The union of C and B (C ∪ B) consists of all elements that are in C, or in B, or in both. $B = {g, h, q, x, y}$ $C = {p, q, x, y, z}$ $C \cup B = {g, h, p, q, x, y, z}$

  3. Find A' ∩ (C ∪ B) (the intersection of A' and C ∪ B) The intersection of A' and (C ∪ B) consists of all elements that are in both A' and (C ∪ B). $A' = {h, r, x, y, z}$ $C \cup B = {g, h, p, q, x, y, z}$ $A' \cap (C \cup B) = {h, x, y, z}$

${h, x, y, z}$

More Information

The intersection of the complement of A and the union of C and B contains only elements present in both A' and C ∪ B.

Tips

  1. Incorrectly calculating the complement: Forgetting to include elements from the universal set that are not in set A.
  2. Incorrectly calculating the union: Including duplicate elements or missing elements from set B or set C.
  3. Incorrectly calculating the intersection: Including elements that are in only one of the sets A' or (C ∪ B), instead of elements that are in both.
