Answer
To fill in the Venn diagram, we first identify the elements in sets A and B and then place them into the correct regions:
Identify the sets:
Set Z includes all even numbers less than 19: {2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18}.
Set A={6,12,18}.
Set B={2,6,14,18}.
Determine the intersections:
The number 6 is common in both A and B, so it goes in the intersection of the two circles.
The number 18 belongs to set A, but it's not in B, so it goes in the part of set A outside of the intersection.
The number 2 belongs to set B but not to A, so it goes in the part of set B outside of the intersection, while 14 is also unique to B.
Fill the diagram:
Set A will include the elements {6,12,18}: 6 in the intersection, 12 solely in A, and 18 also in the intersection.
Set B will contain {2,6,14,18}: where 6 is overlapped, 2 and 14 are exclusively placed in set B.
The Venn diagram will look like this:
In the part of circle A where only A is present: 12
In the intersection of sets A and B: 6
In the part of circle B where only B is present: 2, 14
Final Venn Diagram:
The completed diagram represents:
Circle A (left) contains {12,18} in the non-overlapping part and 6 in the overlap.
Circle B (right) includes {2,14} in the non-overlapping part with 6 being shared.
