Given U = {x is a positive integer less than 15} and P = {x is even number from 1 to 14}. Find the compliment.
Answer Details
The complement of a set contains all the elements that are not in the set. In this problem, the universal set is U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14}, which is the set of positive integers less than 15. The set P = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14} is the set of even numbers from 1 to 14. To find the complement of P, we need to determine the set of all elements that are not in P. Since every positive integer less than 15 is either even or odd, we can determine the complement of P by finding the set of all odd numbers less than 15. This set is {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13}. Therefore, the answer is {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13}.
