Question 1 Report

If A = {a,b,c}, B = {a,b,c,d,e} and C = {a,b,c,d,e,f}. Find (A∪B)∩(A∪C)

Answer Details
The union of sets A and B (A ∪ B) is the set of elements that are in either set A, set B or both. Similarly, the union of sets A and C (A ∪ C) is the set of elements that are in either set A, set C or both. The intersection of these two sets ((A ∪ B) ∩ (A ∪ C)) is the set of elements that are common to both sets. Therefore, we can first find the union of A and B which gives us {a, b, c, d, e}. Then, we can find the union of A and C which gives us {a, b, c, d, e, f}. The intersection of these two sets is the set of elements that are in both sets, which is {a, b, c, d, e}. Therefore, (A∪B)∩(A∪C) = {a, b, c, d, e}. So the correct answer is: {a,b,c,d,e}.
