2. List the elements in each of the following sets.
Let U = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}; A = {0,1,2,3,5,8}; B={0,2,4,6}; C = {1,3,5,7}
i) A B = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8}
ii) B’ = {1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10}
iii) A B’ = {1, 3, 5, 8} Hint: List the elements in B’ first
iv) B C = {0, 1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7}
v) B C’ = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10} Hint: list the elements of C’ first
vi) A’ C = {1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10} Hint: list the elements of A’ first
vii) (A’ C) B = {0, 2, 4, 6, 7} Hint: list the elements of A’, then A’ ∩ C first
viii) (A B)’ = {7, 9, 10}
ix) (A C) B = {0, 2}
x) Write down a subset of A = {0,1}
There are more – any set containing only elements that are also in A
3. Refer to the diagram to answer the questions below. What set notation would you use to
represent the following regions?
Example: Region 3 could be written as A B
i) Regions 1, 2 and 4 are all shaded ii) Only Region 2 is shaded.
(A ∩ B)’ or A’ B’ A ∩ B’
iii) Only Region 1 is shaded. iv) Regions 1 and 4 are shaded.
(A B)’ or A’ ∩ B’ A’
