Suppose U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} is the universal set and P = {1, 2, 3, 4}. What is P'?

Question

(1 point)
A-{5, 6, 7, 8)
B-{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
C-{1, 2, 3, 4}
D-cannot be determined

Answer 1

The complement of set P, denoted as P', includes all the elements of the universal set U that are not in set P.

In this case, set U contains the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and set P contains the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4. Therefore, the complement of P, P', will include all the numbers from U that are not in P.

P' = {5, 6, 7, 8}

So, the correct answer is A-{5, 6, 7, 8).
