{20,21}\{20, 21\}

b

{16,17,18,19,20,21}\{16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21\}

c

{16,17,18,19,20,21}\{16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21\}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

First, let's correctly define the sets based on the given universal set UU.

The universal set is given as:

U={16,17,18,19,20,21,22}U = \{16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22\}

Set XX is defined as X={x:x<20}X = \{x : x < 20\}. Since XX is a subset of UU, we select elements from UU that are less than 20:

X={16,17,18,19}X = \{16, 17, 18, 19\}

Set YY is defined as Y={y:17≤y≤21}Y = \{y : 17 \le y \le 21\}. Since YY is a subset of UU, we select elements from UU that are greater than or equal to 17 and less than or equal to 21:

Y={17,18,19,20,21}Y = \{17, 18, 19, 20, 21\}

(Note: Your partial work for Y, Y={17,18,19}Y = \{17, 18, 19\}, is missing elements 20 and 21.)

Now, let's solve the parts of the question.

Part a· 2 steps

Find X′∩YX' \cap Y

  1. Determine the complement of XX, denoted as X′X'.

    This includes all elements in UU that are not in XX.

    X′=U∖X={16,17,18,19,20,21,22}∖{16,17,18,19}X' = U \setminus X = \{16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22\} \setminus \{16, 17, 18, 19\} X′={20,21,22}X' = \{20, 21, 22\}
  2. Find the intersection of X′X' and YY.

    This includes elements common to both X′X' and YY.

    X′∩Y={20,21,22}∩{17,18,19,20,21}X' \cap Y = \{20, 21, 22\} \cap \{17, 18, 19, 20, 21\} X′∩Y={20,21}X' \cap Y = \boxed{\{20, 21\}}

Part b

{16,17,18,19,20,21}\{16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21\}

Find X∪YX \cup Y

  1. Find the union of XX and YY.

    This includes all unique elements from both sets XX and YY.

    X∪Y={16,17,18,19}∪{17,18,19,20,21}X \cup Y = \{16, 17, 18, 19\} \cup \{17, 18, 19, 20, 21\} X∪Y={16,17,18,19,20,21}X \cup Y = \boxed{\{16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21\}}

Part c

{16,17,18,19,20,21}\{16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21\}

Find X∪YX \cup Y

This part is a duplicate of part b) in the question.

X∪Y={16,17,18,19,20,21}X \cup Y = \boxed{\{16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21\}}

Part d

Represent X, Y and U on a Venn diagram.

A Venn diagram for these sets would consist of a rectangle representing the universal set UU, and two overlapping circles representing sets XX and YY.

The elements would be placed in the following regions:

  • Intersection (X∩YX \cap Y): Elements common to both XX and YY. X∩Y={16,17,18,19}∩{17,18,19,20,21}={17,18,19}X \cap Y = \{16, 17, 18, 19\} \cap \{17, 18, 19, 20, 21\} = \{17, 18, 19\} These elements go in the overlapping region of the circles.
  • Only XX (X∖YX \setminus Y): Elements in XX but not in YY. X∖Y={16}X \setminus Y = \{16\} This element goes in the part of circle XX that does not overlap with YY.
  • Only YY (Y∖XY \setminus X): Elements in YY but not in XX. Y∖X={20,21}Y \setminus X = \{20, 21\} These elements go in the part of circle YY that does not overlap with XX.
  • Outside XX and YY ((X∪Y)′(X \cup Y)'): Elements in UU but not in XX or YY. X∪Y={16,17,18,19,20,21}X \cup Y = \{16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21\} (X∪Y)′=U∖(X∪Y)={22}(X \cup Y)' = U \setminus (X \cup Y) = \{22\} This element goes inside the rectangle but outside both circles.
