Question 475209: Let U = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}, A = {4, 5, 6, 7}, B = {4, 5, 8, 9}, and C = {6, 8, 10}. List all the members of each of the sets. (Enter solutions from smallest to largest. If there are any unused answer boxes, enter NONE in the last boxes.)
(a) A ∪ (B ∩ C)
{ , , , , }
(b) A ∪ (B ∩ C)
{ , , , , }
Can I get a tutor to show the right way to count these? Thank you very much for all of the help!

A U B = set of the combination of sets A and B

A ∩ B = set of common elements between sets A and B

a)

Since B = {4, 5, 8, 9}, and C = {6, 8, 10}

This means that

B ∩ C = {8}

because 8 is the only thing sets B and C have in common

So
A U (B ∩ C)

becomes

A U {8}

which tells us to simply add the element 8 to set A to get the final answer of

{4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

So A U (B ∩ C) = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
