Answers: Choice C and Choice D</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
Let's write the roster notation of each set
D = {0, 1, 2, 3, ...} the dots indicate the pattern goes on forever
E = {0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25} = list of perfect squares smaller than 36
F = {20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30} = even numbers between 20 and 30
----------------
If we intersect sets D and E, we're looking for what numbers are in both sets at the same time. Therefore, D ∩ E = {0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25} which is the exact same as set E. This is because all of set E is inside of set D. We say that set E is a subset of set D. So, D ∩ E = E.
Choice A is very close to being true. The problem is that 25 is missing from the set {1,4,9,16}. So this is why choice A is false.
----------------
Now let's intersect sets D and F. The numbers they have in common are {20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30} which is exactly what set F is. So set F is a subset of set D. We can write D ∩ F = F in much the same way we can say D ∩ E = E.
D ∩ F = {12,14,16,18} is not true. A number like 12 is not between 20 and 30, so it cannot be in set F.
Choice B is false so we cross it off the list.
----------------
Choice C is true and here's why
D ∪ (E ∩ F) is the same as saying D ∪ G where G is the set of intersecting E and F together. In other words, G = E ∩ F
We don't really need to even worry about sets E, F or G. All that matters here is set D.
When we write D ∪ (E ∩ F) or D ∪ G, we're saying "a number is in set D, or it is in set G". If it is in D, then it's a whole number. Otherwise, it's in a subset of whole numbers.
Overall, D ∪ G and D ∪ (E ∩ F) form the entire set of whole numbers.
------------------
Choice D is true.
E and F have nothing in common
E = {0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25}
F = {20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30}
So intersecting them leads to the empty set. This is the set with nothing inside it, not even 0.
------------------
Choice F is false
These two sets below
E = {0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25}
F = {20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30}
union together to get
H = {0,1,4,9,16,20,22,24,25,26,28,30}
just toss all of the numbers together into one big set
Notice how each of these numbers are whole numbers, so they are part of set D. This means set H is also a subset of set D.
When we intersect sets D and H, we end up with set H. We do not simply end up with the set with 25 only inside it.
