By the distributive law, A ∩ (B ∪ C) equals:

Answer: (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C).

  • A (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C)
  • B (A ∪ B) ∩ (A ∪ C)
  • C A ∪ B ∪ C
  • D A ∩ B ∩ C

Correct answer: A. (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C)

Explanation: Intersection distributes over union: A ∩ (B ∪ C) = (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C).

Set Operations: Union, Intersection, ComplementUABA∩BOutside both circles = (A∪B)' = A'∩B' (De Morgan)A∪B = everything in either circle; A∩B = only the overlap

A Venn diagram makes set identities visual: A∪B is everything inside either circle, A∩B is only the overlap, and the region outside both circles represents the complement of their union - directly illustrating De Morgan's law (A∪B)′ = A′∩B′.
