# Set Operations

Familiarize yourself with the foundational notation, tools and concepts for the operations that are applied to sets.

# Set Operations: Level 1 Challenges

What is $$|A^{C}\cup B^{C}|$$?

Details:

$$|S|$$ represents the cardinality of the set $$S$$ and $$S^C$$ represents the complement of the set $$S$$.

True or False?

$$\quad \quad \quad$$ $$|X^C \cup Y^C \cup Z^C| = |(X \cap Y \cap Z)^C|$$?

If X and Y are two sets, X $$∩$$ $$(Y∪X)^c$$ is equal to

Details and assumptions:
$$\rightarrow$$ $$∩$$ represents intersection.
$$\rightarrow$$ $$∪$$ represents union.
$$\rightarrow$$ $$X^c$$ represents compliment of set X.

In my fridge's shelves there are 10 condiments that are good for breakfasts, 8 that are good for lunch/dinner, and 12 that are good for dessert.

Of all of the condiments, exactly half of those that are good for breakfast are also good for lunch/dinner. And every condiment is either good for desert or good for both lunch/dinner and breakfast.

Given all of this, what is the difference between the maximum number of condiments that I might have in my fridge and minimum number of condiments that I might have in my fridge?

If $$A$$ and $$B$$ are subsets of $$U=\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9\}$$ such that ${ A }^{ c }\cap { B }^{ { c } }=\{1, 9\}, A\cap B =\{2\}, { A }^{ c }\cap B=\{4, 6, 8\},$ what is the set $$A?$$
