Exercise 1 Page xxxvi

Start by listing the elements of U.

B

We have been given a universal set U and a set A defined as follows. &U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 } &A={ 1, 2, 3, 4 }

We are asked to find A'. In order to do this, let's identify the elements of the universal set. &U={ 1, 2, 3, 4,5,6,7,8 } Since the complement of a set is the set of all elements in the universal set that are not in the set, we can construct A' as shown below. &A'={5,6,7,8 } Therefore, the answer is B.
