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
It is everything that is NOT in P, but is still in the Universal set : )
Thus "a"
Thank you!!!!!
To find the complement of set P, denoted as P', we need to identify the elements in the universal set U that are not in set P.
Step 1: List down the universal set U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}.
Step 2: List down the elements in set P = {1, 3, 5, 7}.
Step 3: Compare the elements in set P with the elements in the universal set U.
Step 4: Identify the elements in the universal set U that are not in set P.
Step 5: Write down the elements in P'.
In this case, the elements in set P are {1, 3, 5, 7}. To find P', we need to identify the elements in set U that are not in set P.
P' = {2, 4, 6, 8}
Therefore, the complement of set P, P', is {2, 4, 6, 8}.
