The universal set \(\varepsilon\) is the set of all integers and the subset P, Q,...

MATHEMATICS
WAEC 1993

The universal set \(\varepsilon\) is the set of all integers and the subset P, Q, R of \(\varepsilon\) are given by:

\(P = {x : x < 0} ; Q = {... , -5, -3, -1, 1, 3, 5} ; R = {x : -2 \leq x < 7}\)

(a) Find \(Q \cap R\).

(b) Find \(R'\) where R' is the complement of R with respect to \(\varepsilon\).

(c) Find \(P' \cup R'\)

(d) List the members of \((P \cap Q)'\).

Explanation

\(P = {..., -5, -4, -3, -2, -1}\)

\(Q = {..., -5, -3, -1, 1, 3, 5, ...}\)

\(R = {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}\)

(a) \(Q \cap R = {-1, 1, 3, 5}\)

(b) \(R' = {..., -5, -4, -3, 7, 8, ...}\)

(c) \(P' = {0, 1, 2, 3, ...}\)

\(P' \cup R' = {-5, -4, -3, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}\)

(d) \(Q = {..., -5, -3, -1, 1, 3, 5,...}\)

\(P \cap Q = {..., -7, -5, -3, -1}\)

\((P \cap Q)' = {..., -8, -6, -4, -2, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}\)
