Question 1 Report

If x = (all prime factors of 44) and y = (all prime factors of 60), the elements of X ∪ Y and X ∩ Y respectively are
Answer Details
The prime factors of 44 are 2, 2, 11. The prime factors of 60 are 2, 2, 3, 5. To find X ∪ Y (the union of X and Y), we need to list all the distinct prime factors from both 44 and 60. These are 2, 3, 5, 11. Therefore, X ∪ Y is (2, 3, 5, 11). To find X ∩ Y (the intersection of X and Y), we need to list all the prime factors that are common to both 44 and 60. These are 2. Therefore, X ∩ Y is (2). Therefore, the answer is (2, 3, 5, 11) and (2), which corresponds to option D.
