2. Answer
(a) List all the elements in 𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 in set notation.
𝐴 = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14}
𝐵 = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15}
𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15}
(b) List all the elements in 𝐴′ ∪ 𝐵 in set notation.
2
𝐴′ = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15}
𝐴′ ∪ 𝐵 = {1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15}
(c) List all the elements in 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 in set notation.
𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 = {6, 12}
(d) List all the elements in 𝐴′ ∩ 𝐵′ in set notation.
𝐴′ = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15}
𝐵′ = {1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14}
𝐴′ ∩ 𝐵′ = {1, 5, 7, 11, 13}
3. Answer
(a) 𝐴 = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15}
𝐵 = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15}
𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 = {3, 9, 15}
(b) 𝐴′ = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14}
𝐵′ = {1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14}
𝐴! ∩ 𝐵! = {2, 4, 8, 10, 14}

(b) 𝑀 = {1, 8, 27}
Test for 𝑘 à 𝑥 = 2𝑘 + 1
If 𝑥 = 1, 𝑘 = 0 (is an integer), 𝑥 = 1 accepted
"
If 𝑥 = 8, 𝑘 = # (not an integer), 𝑥 = 8 rejected
If 𝑥 = 27, 𝑘 = 13 (is an integer), 𝑥 = 27 accepted
So 𝑁 = {1, 27, … , … } Or just check all values of x then find (𝑀 ∩ 𝑁).
(𝑀 ∩ 𝑁) = {1, 27}
