SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on verifying the correctness of set operations involving universal set U and subsets A, B, C, and D. The user correctly identifies the complements of sets B and D, concluding that B' ∪ D' equals U. Additionally, the intersection of A' and B' is accurately calculated as D. The operations demonstrate a solid understanding of set theory principles.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of set theory concepts, including complements and unions
  • Familiarity with universal sets and subset notation
  • Basic knowledge of set operations such as intersection and union
  • Ability to work with finite sets and their elements
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of set complements in more depth
  • Learn about Venn diagrams for visualizing set operations
  • Explore advanced set operations, including Cartesian products
  • Investigate applications of set theory in computer science and mathematics
USEFUL FOR

Students of mathematics, educators teaching set theory, and anyone interested in enhancing their understanding of set operations and their applications.

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

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