Given the universal set $U = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\}$ and the sets $A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$, $B = \{2, 4, 6\}$, and $C = \{1, 3, 5\}$, we are asked to find: (1) $A \cup B$, the union of sets A and B. (2) $A \setminus B$, the set difference between A and B. (3) $A \cap C$, the intersection of sets A and C. (4) $C \times B$, the Cartesian product of sets C and B.

1. Problem Description

Given the universal set U={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}U = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\} and the sets A={1,2,3,4,5}A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}, B={2,4,6}B = \{2, 4, 6\}, and C={1,3,5}C = \{1, 3, 5\}, we are asked to find:
(1) ABA \cup B, the union of sets A and B.
(2) ABA \setminus B, the set difference between A and B.
(3) ACA \cap C, the intersection of sets A and C.
(4) C×BC \times B, the Cartesian product of sets C and B.

2. Solution Steps

(1) Find ABA \cup B:
ABA \cup B is the set of all elements that are in A or in B or in both.
A={1,2,3,4,5}A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}
B={2,4,6}B = \{2, 4, 6\}
AB={1,2,3,4,5,6}A \cup B = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}
(2) Find ABA \setminus B:
ABA \setminus B is the set of all elements that are in A but not in B.
A={1,2,3,4,5}A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}
B={2,4,6}B = \{2, 4, 6\}
AB={1,3,5}A \setminus B = \{1, 3, 5\}
(3) Find ACA \cap C:
ACA \cap C is the set of all elements that are in both A and C.
A={1,2,3,4,5}A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}
C={1,3,5}C = \{1, 3, 5\}
AC={1,3,5}A \cap C = \{1, 3, 5\}
(4) Find C×BC \times B:
C×BC \times B is the set of all ordered pairs (c,b)(c, b) such that cCc \in C and bBb \in B.
C={1,3,5}C = \{1, 3, 5\}
B={2,4,6}B = \{2, 4, 6\}
C×B={(1,2),(1,4),(1,6),(3,2),(3,4),(3,6),(5,2),(5,4),(5,6)}C \times B = \{(1, 2), (1, 4), (1, 6), (3, 2), (3, 4), (3, 6), (5, 2), (5, 4), (5, 6)\}

3. Final Answer

(1) AB={1,2,3,4,5,6}A \cup B = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}
(2) AB={1,3,5}A \setminus B = \{1, 3, 5\}
(3) AC={1,3,5}A \cap C = \{1, 3, 5\}
(4) C×B={(1,2),(1,4),(1,6),(3,2),(3,4),(3,6),(5,2),(5,4),(5,6)}C \times B = \{(1, 2), (1, 4), (1, 6), (3, 2), (3, 4), (3, 6), (5, 2), (5, 4), (5, 6)\}
