Let P = {1, 2, u, v, w, x}; Q = {2, 3, u, v, w, 5, 6, y} and R = {2, 3, 4, v, x, y}.
Determine (P-Q) ∩ R
The correct answer is C. {x}
To find the set \((P - Q) \cap R\), we first need to find the difference between sets \(P\) and \(Q\) (i.e., \(P - Q\)) and then find the intersection of the result with set \(R\).
The set difference P - Q consists of elements that are in set P but not in set Q.
Given:
P = {1, 2, u, v, w, x}
Q = {2, 3, u, v, w, 5, 6, y}
So, P - Q will contain elements from P that are not in Q:
P - Q = {1, x}
Now, we need to find the intersection of (P - Q) with set (R):
(R = {2, 3, 4, v, x, y}
\((P - Q) \cap R\) will contain elements that are common to both sets (P - Q) and (R):
\((P - Q) \cap R = \{x\}\)
