Suppose U = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}, Is the Universal set, and P = {1,3,5,7}, What is P
A) {2,4,6,8}
B) {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
C) {1,3,5,7}
D) {1,3,5,7,8}
I think A.
It supposed to be asking what is P' instead of P
The answer is C) {1,3,5,7}.
The set P is given as {1,3,5,7}.
To find the answer, you need to understand what the concept of a universal set and a subset means.
A universal set is a set that contains all the elements that are being considered in a particular context. In this case, the universal set is U = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}. It includes all the numbers from 1 to 8.
A subset is a set that contains only some of the elements of another set. In this scenario, P = {1,3,5,7} is a subset of U because it only contains the elements 1, 3, 5, and 7.
Now, let's analyze the answer options:
A) {2,4,6,8}: This set contains the elements 2, 4, 6, and 8, but none of these elements are present in the original set P = {1,3,5,7}. Therefore, option A is incorrect.
B) {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}: This set is the same as the original universal set U. It includes all the elements from 1 to 8, which means it includes P = {1,3,5,7}. Therefore, option B is correct.
C) {1,3,5,7}: This set is exactly the same as the original set P. Therefore, option C is also correct.
D) {1,3,5,7,8}: This set includes all the elements from P = {1,3,5,7}, as well as an additional element, 8. Therefore, option D is correct.
In conclusion, the correct answer is either B) {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} or D) {1,3,5,7,8}.
You just told me what P is
