Answer

\(A \cup C'=\boxed{\{3,18,20\}}\) is the final answer

Steps

Step 1 :Define the universal set U as \(U=\{3,15,8,14,16,17,20,18\}\)

Step 2 :Define set A as \(A=\{3,20,18\}\)

Step 3 :Define set C as \(C=\{15,8,14,16,17\}\)

Step 4 :Find the complement of set C, denoted as C', which is the set of all elements in U that are not in C. So, \(C'=\{3,18,20\}\)

Step 5 :Find the union of set A and the complement of set C, denoted as \(A \cup C'\). This is the set of all elements that are in A or in C'. So, \(A \cup C'=\{3,18,20\}\)

Step 6 :\(A \cup C'=\boxed{\{3,18,20\}}\) is the final answer
