Here is a quick example to illustrate the 3 definitions.
Example: Let U be a universal set and A and B be subsets of U defined as follows.
U = {1,2,3,4,5}
A = {1,2,3}
B = {2,3,4}
Find A
A is all of the elements in the Universal set that are not in set A.
Answer: A = {4,5}
Find (This is asking me to find all of the elements that A and B have in common.)
Answer: = {2,3}
Find (This is asking me to list all of the elements in A followed by all of the elements in B,
then delete any elements that are written twice.)
= {1,2,3,2,3,4}
Answer: = {1,2,3,4}
Example: Let U be a universal set and A and B be subsets of U defined as follows.
U = {a,b,c,d,e,f}
A = {a,b,c}
B = {c,d,e}
Find
First I need to find A, which is all of the elements in U that arent in set A.
A = {d,e,f}
Now I can intersect the two sets.
= {d,e,f} {c,d,e} (now find what the two sets have in common)
Answer: {d,e}

First I need to find B
B = {a,b,f}
A B = {a,b,c} {a,b,f} (put all 6 elements in a big set then delete the duplicates)
= {a,b,c,a,b,f}
Answer: {a,b,c,f}

Find
I need to work from left to right. First I will find
= {a,b,c} {c,d,e}
= {a,b,c,c,d,e}
= {a,b,c,d,e}
Now I can do the union C part. I can rewrite my problem as:
{a,b,c,d,e} C
= {a,b,c,d,e} {d,e,f}
= {a,b,c,d,e,d,e,f}
Answer: {a,b,c,d,e,f}
Find ( )
I have to work on the inside of the parenthesis first.
So I will first find:
= {c,d,e} {d,e,f}
= {c,d,e,d,e,f}
={c,d,e,f}
Now I can do the complement.
I can replace the inside of the parenthesis with {c,d,e,f} and proceed to find its complement.
(B C) = (c,d,e,f) (my answer will be all the elements of set U that are not in this set.)
Answer: {a,b}
Find ( )
First I need to simplify the parenthesis (B C)
I just figured out that (B C) = {a,b}, so I will use the work I have already done
A (B C)

= A {a, b}
= {a,b,c} {a,b}
= {a,b,c,a,b}
Answer: {a,b,c}
Find ( )
I need to simplify the inside of the parenthesis first.
( )
= {c,d,e} {a,b,c}
= {c}
( )
= A {}
= {d,e,f} {c}
Answer: (empty set)
