23 / 32
If U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}, A = {2, 4, 6, 8} and B = {2, 3, 5, 7}, verify that:

Answer
1
Find the intersection of sets A and B by finding all common elements from both sets.
A $∩$ B = {2}
2
Find the complement of set (A ∩ B) by finding the elements of set U that are not elements of set (A ∩ B).
(A $∩$ B)' = {1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
3
Find the complement of set A by finding the elements of set U that are not elements of set A.
A' = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
4
Find the complement of set B by finding the elements of set U that are not elements of set B.
B' = {1, 4, 6, 8, 9}
5
Find the union of sets A' and B' by finding all distinct elements from both sets.
A' $∪$ B' = {1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
6
Determine whether sets (A ∩ B)' and (A' ∪ B') contain the same elements.
Answer: (A $∩$ B)' = A' $∪$ B'
Reason: Both sets are equal to {1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
