Question 184951: Given A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {3, 4, 5, 6,}, and C = {3, 5, 7}. Evaluate each set
a) A ∩ B
b) A ∩ C
c) A U C
d) B U C
e) (A U B) ∩ C
f) A U (B U C)
g) (A ∩ B) ∩ C
h) (A ∩ B) U C
Please help with this problem. I can't figure it out and I have tried it many times.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'll do the first four to get you started. Let me know if you need more help.
a)
A ∩ B = Set of elements that BOTH sets A and B have in common
A ∩ B = {1, 2, 3} ∩ {3, 4, 5, 6}
A ∩ B = {3}
----------------
b)
A ∩ C = Set of elements that BOTH sets A and C have in common
A ∩ C = {1, 2, 3} ∩ {3, 5, 7}
A ∩ C = {3}
----------------
c)
A U C = Combination of the sets A and C (remove any duplicates)
A U C = {1, 2, 3} U {3, 5, 7}
A U C = {1,2,3,5,7}
----------------
d)
B U C = Combination of the sets B and C (remove any duplicates)
B U C = {3, 4, 5, 6} U {3, 5, 7}
B U C = {3,4,5,6,7}
