Answer:

A. X∪Y = {25, 36, 49}

B. X∩Y = ∅ i.e empty set

C. X' = {21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48}

D. X′∩Y∩Z = ∅

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by determining the universal set (ε), set X, set Y and set Z.

This can be obtained as follow:

ε = {whole numbers less than 50 but greater than 20}

ε = {21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49}

X = {perfect squares}

X = {25, 36, 49}

Y = {factors of 12}

Y = ∅ i.e empty

Z = {prime numbers}

Z = {23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47}

A. Determination of X∪Y

X = {25, 36, 49}

Y = ∅

X∪Y =?

X∪Y => combination of elements in set X and Y without repeating any element in both X and Y.

X∪Y = {25, 36, 49}

B. Determination of X∩Y

X = {25, 36, 49}

Y = ∅

X∩Y =?

X∩Y => elements common to both set X and Y

X∩Y = ∅ i.e empty

C. Determination of X′

ε = {21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49}

X = {25, 36, 49}

X' =?

X' => elements in the universal set but not found in set X.

X' = {21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48}

D. Determination of X′∩Y∩Z

X' = {21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48}

Y = ∅

Z = {23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47}

X′∩Y∩Z =?

X′∩Y∩Z => elements common to set X', Y and Z

X′∩Y∩Z = ∅
