### Unions, Intersections, and Complements Involving 2 Sets

#### Sets \(\mathbf{B}\) and \(\mathbf{C}\) are subsets of the universal set \(\mathbf{U}\).

These sets are defined as follows:

\[
\mathbf{U} = \{1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9\}
\]
\[
\mathbf{B} = \{1, 2, 7, 9\}
\]
\[
\mathbf{C} = \{8, 9\}
\]

#### Find the following sets. Write your answer in **roster form** or as \(\varnothing\).

1. **Union and Complement Operations (a):**
   \[
   \mathbf{B} \cup \mathbf{C^{\prime}} = \_\_\_\_\_
   \]

2. **Intersection and Complement Operations (b):**
   \[
   (\mathbf{B} \cap \mathbf{C})^{\prime} = \_\_\_\_\_
   \]

#### Explanation and Steps

1. **Step-by-Step for (a):**
   
   - Identify \(\mathbf{C^{\prime}}\), the complement of \(\mathbf{C}\).

     \[
     \mathbf{C} = \{8, 9\}
     \]
     \[
     \mathbf{U} = \{1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9\}
     \]
     \[
     \mathbf{C^{\prime}} = \mathbf{U} - \mathbf{C} = \{1, 2, 5, 7\}
     \]

   - Perform the union operation:

     \[
     \mathbf{B} = \{1, 2, 7, 9\}
     \]
     \[
     \mathbf{C^{\prime}} = \{1, 2, 5, 7\}
     \]
     \[
     \mathbf{B} \cup \mathbf{C^{\prime}} = \{1, 2, 5, 7, 9\}
     \]

2. **Step-by-Step for (b):**
   
   - Identify the intersection of \(\mathbf{B}\) and \(\mathbf{C
