Mathematics WAEC / WASSCE 1996 Sets, Logic & Venn Diagrams
(a) The universal set U is the set of integers, P, Q and R are subsets of U defined as follows: \(P = x : x \leq 2 \) ; \(Q = x : -7 < x < 15\) ; \(R = x : -2 \leq x < 19\). Find (i) \(P \cap Q\) ; (ii) \(P \cap (Q \cup R')\), where R' is the complement of R with respect to U.
