Question
### Understanding Venn Diagrams in Set Theory In set theory, a Venn Diagram is a way to illustrate the logical relationships between different sets. We use circles to represent sets, and the relationships between these sets can be visualized by their overlapping areas. Below, we will analyze four specific set operations using three sets \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\). #### Instructions: Let \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) be events in the sample space \(S\). Use Venn Diagrams to shade the areas representing the following events: ### a. \( A \cup (A \cap B) \) This expression represents the union of set \(A\) with the intersection of sets \(A\) and \(B\). In a Venn Diagram, this would include all elements of set \(A\), because \( A \cap B \) is a subset of \(A\), and the union of a set with its subset is the set itself. ### b. \( (A \cap B) \cup (A \cap B') \) Here, \(B'\) represents the complement of set \(B\), which includes all elements not in \(B\). The expression is the union of the intersection of \(A\) and \(B\) with the intersection of \(A\) and \(B'\). This effectively includes all elements of \(A\), as they will exist either in or outside \(B\). ### c. \( A \cup (A' \cap B) \) This expression is the union of \(A\) with the intersection of \(A'\) and \(B\). Set \(A'\) is the complement of \(A\), including all elements not in \(A\). The intersection \(A' \cap B\) includes only those elements that are in \(B\) but not in \(A\). Therefore, the union will consist of all elements in \(A\) and all elements only in \(B\). ### d. \( (A \cup B) \cap (A \cup C) \) This expression represents the intersection of two unions: \(A\) union \(B\) and \(A\) union \(C\). Visually on a Venn Diagram, this would include all elements that are either in \(A\), \(B\), or \(C\), but specifically those that overlap in
