<u><em>Part (1):
</em></u><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
B ∩ C = ]-∞,2[
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>We are given that:</u>
B is defined as the set of all the values that are less than 2 (2 is excluded)
C is defined as the set of all the values that are less than or equal to 5 (5 is included)
∩ refers to the intersection between the two sets.
The intersection would be all the values less than 2 (2 is excluded). This is the same as set B
<u><em>Part (2):
</em></u><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
B ∪ C = ]-∞,5]
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>We are given that:</u>
B is defined as the set of all the values that are less than 2 (2 is excluded)
C is defined as the set of all the values that are less than or equal to 5 (5 is included)
∪ refers to the union of the two sets.
The union would be all the values less than 5 (5 is included). This is the same as set C
<u><em>Notes:</em></u>1- The attached figure represents the number line describing the scenario given
2- From the above results, we can deduce that set B is subset of set C
Hope this helps :)
