Given A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, B = {4, 5, 6,}, and C = {2, 6, 7}. Evaluate each set
a) A ∩ B
b) A U C
c) B U C
d) (A U B) ∩ C
e) A U (B U C)
f) (A ∩ B) ∩ C
g) (A ∩ B) U C

I'll do the first three to get you started

a)

To form the intersection of the two sets A={1,2,3,4} and B={4,5,6}, simply write down all of the elements that are in BOTH sets at the same time.

So let's place the first set right above the second set (for an easy visual comparison):

{1,2,3,4}
{4,5,6}

Now highlight the elements that are in BOTH sets:

{1,2,3,4}
{4,5,6}

Since the highlighted terms are 4, this means that the intersection of the two sets is {4}

So if and , then the intersection of the two sets is:

=========================================================================
b)

To form the union of the two sets A={1,2,3,4} and C={2,6,7}, simply make a new set that contains EVERY element in both sets like so {1,2,3,4,2,6,7}. Take note how the red elements are from the first set while the green elements are from the second set.

Now remove any duplicate elements to get the set {1,2,3,4,6,7}

So if and , then the union of the two sets is:

=========================================================================
c)

To form the union of the two sets B={4,5,6} and C={2,6,7}, simply make a new set that contains EVERY element in both sets like so {4,5,6,2,6,7}. Take note how the red elements are from the first set while the green elements are from the second set.

Now remove any duplicate elements to get the set {4,5,6,2,7}. Now if you want, you can sort the elements from least to greatest to get {2,4,5,6,7}

So if and , then the union of the two sets is:

Given A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, B = {4, 5, 6,}, and C = {2, 6, 7}.
Evaluate each set
a) A ∩ B.....everything what is same element in and in :
A ∩ B={4}
b) A U C.....A U C={1,2,3,4,5,6}
c) B U C={2,4,5,6,7}
d) (A U B) ∩ C={1, 2, 3, 4,5, 6}∩{2, 6, 7}={2,6}
e) A U (B U C)={1, 2, 3, 4}U {2,4, 5, 6,7}={1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7}
f) (A ∩ B) ∩ C={4} ∩{2, 6, 7}={ }
g) (A ∩ B) U C={4}U {2, 6, 7}={2,4, 6, 7}
