The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the sets \( A \) and \( B \) defined in the question and determine which statement about them is not correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the sets \( A \) and \( B \)**: - The set \( A \) is defined as \( A = \{ n^2 : n \in N \} \). This means \( A \) contains all perfect squares of natural numbers. The elements of \( A \) are: \[ A = \{ 1^2, 2^2, 3^2, 4^2, 5^2, \ldots \} = \{ 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, \ldots \} \] - The set \( B \) is defined as \( B = \{ n^3 : n \in N \} \). This means \( B \) contains all perfect cubes of natural numbers. The elements of \( B \) are: \[ B = \{ 1^3, 2^3, 3^3, 4^3, 5^3, \ldots \} = \{ 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512, \ldots \} \] 2. **Identify the elements of \( A \) and \( B \)**: - From the definitions, we can see that both sets contain infinite elements. \( A \) consists of perfect squares, while \( B \) consists of perfect cubes. 3. **Consider the union \( A \cup B \)**: - The union of sets \( A \) and \( B \) will include all elements that are either perfect squares or perfect cubes. Thus: \[ A \cup B = \{ 1, 4, 8, 9, 16, 25, 27, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 125, \ldots \} \] - Since both \( A \) and \( B \) are infinite, their union \( A \cup B \) is also infinite. 4. **Consider the intersection \( A \cap B \)**: - The intersection of sets \( A \) and \( B \) consists of elements that are both perfect squares and perfect cubes. These are the perfect sixth powers: \[ A \cap B = \{ n^6 : n \in N \} = \{ 1, 64, 729, \ldots \} \] - This set is also infinite, as there are infinitely many natural numbers \( n \). 5. **Evaluate the statements**: - **Statement A**: \( A \cup B = N \) (not correct, as there are natural numbers missing). - **Statement B**: \( A \cup B \) is infinite (correct). - **Statement C**: \( A \cap B \) is finite (not correct, as shown above). - **Statement D**: \( A \cap B \) contains elements like \( n^6 \) (correct). 6. **Conclusion**: - The statement that is **not correct** is **Statement A**: \( A \cup B \) does not equal the set of all natural numbers \( N \). ### Final Answer: The statement that is not correct is **Statement A**: \( A \cup B \neq N \).
