Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Sets: Union, intersection and complement worksheet (with solutions)
Let's solve the problem step by step.

We are given three sets:

- $ A = \{e, u, w, x, y\} $
- $ B $: the letters of the word 'weather'
- $ C = \{w, i, n\} $

---

Step 1: Determine Set $ B $



The word "weather" consists of the letters:
w, e, a, t, h, e, r

But in set notation, we only include unique elements (no duplicates), so:

$$
B = \{w, e, a, t, h, r\}
$$

---

Now let’s solve each part.

---

a) $ A \cup B $ — Union of A and B



The union of two sets includes all elements that are in either set (without repetition).

- $ A = \{e, u, w, x, y\} $
- $ B = \{w, e, a, t, h, r\} $

Combine all unique elements from both sets:

- From A: $ e, u, w, x, y $
- From B: $ a, t, h, r $ (note: $ e $ and $ w $ already in A)

So,

$$
A \cup B = \{e, u, w, x, y, a, t, h, r\}
$$

Final answer for (a):
$$
\boxed{\{a, e, h, r, t, u, w, x, y\}}
$$

*(Note: Sets are unordered, so order doesn't matter. We can list them alphabetically for clarity.)*

---

b) $ A \cap B $ — Intersection of A and B



The intersection includes only elements that are in both sets.

- $ A = \{e, u, w, x, y\} $
- $ B = \{w, e, a, t, h, r\} $

Common elements:
- $ e $ → in both
- $ w $ → in both

So,

$$
A \cap B = \{e, w\}
$$

Final answer for (b):
$$
\boxed{\{e, w\}}
$$

---

c) $ A \cup C $ — Union of A and C



- $ A = \{e, u, w, x, y\} $
- $ C = \{w, i, n\} $

Combine all unique elements:

- From A: $ e, u, w, x, y $
- From C: $ i, n $ (note: $ w $ is already in A)

So,

$$
A \cup C = \{e, u, w, x, y, i, n\}
$$

Final answer for (c):
$$
\boxed{\{e, i, n, u, w, x, y\}}
$$

---

Final Answers:



a) $ A \cup B = \{a, e, h, r, t, u, w, x, y\} $
b) $ A \cap B = \{e, w\} $
c) $ A \cup C = \{e, i, n, u, w, x, y\} $
