The complement A′ consists of the elements of the universal set that are:

Answer: not in A.

  • A not in A
  • B in A
  • C in A ∩ B
  • D in the empty set

Correct answer: A. not in A

Explanation: A′ is everything in the universal set U that does not belong to A.

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′.
