Given the sets $A = \{1, 2, ..., 16\}$, $B = \{x: 0 < x < 16, x \text{ is an odd integer}\}$, and $C = \{P: P < 16, P \text{ is prime}\}$, we want to find the elements in $A \cap B'$ and $(A \cup B \cup C)'$.

1. Problem Description

Given the sets A={1,2,...,16}A = \{1, 2, ..., 16\}, B={x:0<x<16,x is an odd integer}B = \{x: 0 < x < 16, x \text{ is an odd integer}\}, and C={P:P<16,P is prime}C = \{P: P < 16, P \text{ is prime}\}, we want to find the elements in ABA \cap B' and (ABC)(A \cup B \cup C)'.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to find the elements in sets BB and CC.
B={1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15}B = \{1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15\}
C={2,3,5,7,11,13}C = \{2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13\}
i. Find ABA \cap B':
BB' is the complement of BB, which means all elements in the universal set UU (real numbers) that are not in BB.
Since AA contains only integers from 1 to 16, ABA \cap B' contains elements in AA that are not in BB.
AB={x:xA and xB}={2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16}A \cap B' = \{x: x \in A \text{ and } x \notin B\} = \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16\}
ii. Find (ABC)(A \cup B \cup C)':
First, find ABCA \cup B \cup C.
A={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16}A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16\}
B={1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15}B = \{1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15\}
C={2,3,5,7,11,13}C = \{2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13\}
ABCA \cup B \cup C is the set of all elements in AA, BB, or CC. Since BB is a subset of AA, and CC contains elements also found in AA,
ABC=AC={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16}A \cup B \cup C = A \cup C = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16\}
So ABC=AA \cup B \cup C = A.
Then, (ABC)=A(A \cup B \cup C)' = A'
Since AA contains integers from 1 to 16, AA' will be all real numbers that are not integers from 1 to
1

6. Since the problem asks for a listing of all elements, and $A'$ consists of an infinite amount of numbers, we must interpret the universal set as $A$.

If the universal set is AA, then A=A' = \emptyset, which is the empty set.
Therefore, (ABC)=={}(A \cup B \cup C)' = \emptyset = \{\}.

3. Final Answer

i. AB={2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16}A \cap B' = \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16\}
ii. (ABC)={}(A \cup B \cup C)' = \{\}
