The discussion focuses on verifying the correctness of set operations involving the universal set U and subsets A, B, C, and D. The user calculates B' ∪ D' and A' ∪ B', concluding that B' ∪ D' equals the universal set U. They also find that A' ∩ B' results in the set D. The responses confirm that the user's calculations are accurate. Overall, the solution presented is correct.

just want to make sure if my answer is correct

If $\displaystyle U\,=\,\{0,\,1,\,2,\,3,\,4,\,5,\,6,\,7,\,8,\,9\}$, the set of digits in our decimal system, and $\displaystyle A\,=\,\{0,\,1,\,2,\,3,\,4,\,5\}$, $\displaystyle B\,=\,\{2,\,3,\,4,\,5,\}$, $\displaystyle C\,=\,\{4,\,5,\,6,\,7\}$, $\displaystyle D\,=\,\{6,\,7,\,8,\,9\}$, find and tabulate:

a. $\displaystyle B'\,\cup\,D'$
b. $\displaystyle A'\,\cup\,B'$

here's my solution

$\displaystyle B'\,\cup\,D'\,=\,\{0,\,1,\,6,\,7,\,8,\,9\}\cup\{0,\,1,\,2,\,3,\,4,\,5,\}\,=\,U$
$\displaystyle A'\,\cap\,B'\,=\,\{6,\,7,\,8,\,9\}\cap\{0,\,1,\,6,\,7,\,8,\,9\}\,=\,\{\,6,\,7,\,8,\,9\}\,=\,D$

Re: Operations on set II

Looks good to me! (Sun)
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
