Set Notation: Defining the Universal Set \((\mathcal{E})\) and Subsets

Secondary 4

\(\xi=\{x\in\mathbb Z:2\le x\le20\}\).

\(A = \{x : x \text{ is a factor of}\hspace{0.5em} 12\}\)

\(B = \{x : x \text{ is divisible by}\hspace{0.5em} 3\}\)

List the elements of

  1. \(\xi\),
  2. \(A'\),
  3. \(B'\).

All sets in this question are subsets of the stated universal set \(\xi\); every set-builder variable is restricted to that universe.
