Answer

$(D'\cap U)\cup E=\{ 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 \}$

Work Step by Step

$\bf{\text{Solution Outline:}}$ To get the elements of $ (D'\cap U)\cup E ,$ combine the elements of $D'$ with $E$. $\bf{\text{Solution Details:}}$ The elements of the complement of $D$, given by $D'$ are all the elements of $U$ that are not in $D$. With $D=\{1,2,3 \}$ and $U=\{ 1,2,3,...,9,10 \}$, then \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} D'=\{ 4,5,6,...,9,10 \} .\end{array} The intersection of $D'$ and $U,$ given by $D'\cap U$, are all the common elements of $D'$ and $U$. These common elements are also the elements of $D'.$ Hence, \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} D'\cap U=D' .\end{array} Adding the elements of $E=\{ 3,7 \}$, then \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} D'\cup E=\{ 3,4,5,...,9,10 \} .\end{array} THerefore, $ (D'\cap U)\cup E=\{ 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 \} .$
