[tex]\[
\begin{array}{l}

A=\{2,3,5,7\} \\

\end{array}
\][/tex]

(a) Explain why [tex]\( A \cap B = \varnothing \)[/tex].

Because there are no common elements in [tex]\( A \)[/tex] and [tex]\( B \)[/tex].

[tex]\[
x \in E \text{ and } x \notin A \cup B
\][/tex]

(b) Write down the two possible values of [tex]\( x \)[/tex].



Answer :

To find the possible values of [tex]\(x\)[/tex] that belong to the set [tex]\(E\)[/tex] but do not belong to the union of sets [tex]\(A\)[/tex] and [tex]\(B\)[/tex], follow these steps:

1. Identify Sets and Operations:
- Given set [tex]\(E = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\}\)[/tex].
- Given set [tex]\(A = \{2, 3, 5, 7\}\)[/tex].
- Given set [tex]\(B = \{4, 6, 8, 10\}\)[/tex].

2. Compute the Union of Sets [tex]\(A\)[/tex] and [tex]\(B\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ A \cup B = \{2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10\} \][/tex]
By combining all elements from [tex]\(A\)[/tex] and [tex]\(B\)[/tex], we get the set [tex]\(\{2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10\}\)[/tex].

3. Determine Elements in [tex]\(E\)[/tex] but Not in [tex]\(A \cup B\)[/tex]:
We need to find [tex]\(x \in E\)[/tex] such that [tex]\(x \notin A \cup B\)[/tex]. This means finding elements that are in [tex]\(E\)[/tex] but not in the union set [tex]\(A \cup B\)[/tex].

[tex]\[ E - (A \cup B) = \{1, 9\} \][/tex]

4. Conclusion:
The elements of set [tex]\(E\)[/tex] that are not in the union of sets [tex]\(A\)[/tex] and [tex]\(B\)[/tex] are [tex]\(1\)[/tex] and [tex]\(9\)[/tex].

Thus, the two possible values of [tex]\(x\)[/tex] are:
[tex]\[ \boxed{1 \text{ and } 9} \][/tex]
