In the Venn diagram, consider U = {whole numbers 1 – 100}.

Let A represent numbers that are perfect squares, B represent numbers that are perfect cubes, and C represent numbers that are perfect fourths, or numbers with a fourth root that is an integer.



Circles A, B, and C overlap.

Which number(s) satisfy A ∩ C?

16, 81
1, 16, 81
1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 81, 100
1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100

To find the numbers that satisfy \( A \cap C \) (the intersection of sets A and C), we need to identify the numbers that are both perfect squares and perfect fourths.

  1. Perfect Squares (Set A): The perfect squares from 1 to 100 are:

    • \( 1^2 = 1 \)
    • \( 2^2 = 4 \)
    • \( 3^2 = 9 \)
    • \( 4^2 = 16 \)
    • \( 5^2 = 25 \)
    • \( 6^2 = 36 \)
    • \( 7^2 = 49 \)
    • \( 8^2 = 64 \)
    • \( 9^2 = 81 \)
    • \( 10^2 = 100 \)

    Thus, the set A is: \[ A = { 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100 } \]

  2. Perfect Fourths (Set C): The perfect fourths from 1 to 100 are:

    • \( 1^4 = 1 \)
    • \( 2^4 = 16 \)
    • \( 3^4 = 81 \) (which is not considered here since \( 3^4 = 81 \) is equal to \( 3^2 = 9 \))
    • \( 4^4 = 256 \) (not within 1-100)

    Thus, the relevant perfect fourths for our range are: \[ C = { 1, 16 } \]

  3. Finding the Intersection \( A \cap C \): The intersection \( A \cap C \) consists of the elements that are common in both sets A and C: \[ A \cap C = { 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100 } \cap { 1, 16 } \]

    This gives us: \[ A \cap C = { 1, 16 } \]

So the numbers that satisfy \( A \cap C \) are: \[ \text{1, 16} \]

The answer is: 1, 16
