If U = {a, b, c, d, e, g, h} and A = {a, e, h}, what is A′?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {b, c, d, g}
The complement A′ is defined with respect to the universal set U. It contains every element of U that is not present in A. Removing a, e, and h from U leaves b, c, d, and g. The element f must not be included because f is not an element of the given universal set U. Therefore, A′ = {b, c, d, g}.
