Set Intersections 171B2F
1. **Problem statement:** Given the universal set $$\varepsilon = \{x : x \text{ is an odd integer and } 1 \leq x \leq 25\}$$, and sets $$X = \{x : x \text{ is a multiple of } 3\}$$ and $$Y = \{x : x \text{ is a multiple of } 5\}$$, find the members of:
a. $$X \cap Y$$
b. $$X \cap Y'$$
2. **Understanding the sets:**
- $$\varepsilon$$ contains all odd integers from 1 to 25: $$\{1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25\}$$.
- $$X$$ is the subset of $$\varepsilon$$ with elements that are multiples of 3.
- $$Y$$ is the subset of $$\varepsilon$$ with elements that are multiples of 5.
- $$Y'$$ is the complement of $$Y$$ in $$\varepsilon$$, i.e., elements in $$\varepsilon$$ not in $$Y$$.
3. **Find elements of $$X$$:**
Multiples of 3 in $$\varepsilon$$ are odd multiples of 3 between 1 and 25:
$$3, 9, 15, 21$$
So, $$X = \{3, 9, 15, 21\}$$.
4. **Find elements of $$Y$$:**
Multiples of 5 in $$\varepsilon$$ are odd multiples of 5 between 1 and 25:
$$5, 15, 25$$
So, $$Y = \{5, 15, 25\}$$.
5. **Find $$X \cap Y$$:**
Intersection means elements common to both sets:
$$X \cap Y = \{15\}$$
6. **Find $$Y'$$:**
Complement of $$Y$$ in $$\varepsilon$$ is all elements in $$\varepsilon$$ not in $$Y$$:
$$Y' = \varepsilon - Y = \{1,3,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25\} - \{5,15,25\} = \{1,3,7,9,11,13,17,19,21,23\}$$
7. **Find $$X \cap Y'$$:**
Elements in $$X$$ that are also in $$Y'$$:
$$X = \{3,9,15,21\}$$ and $$Y' = \{1,3,7,9,11,13,17,19,21,23\}$$
Common elements are $$3, 9, 21$$
**Final answers:**
a. $$X \cap Y = \{15\}$$
b. $$X \cap Y' = \{3, 9, 21\}$$
