Answer all questions

Answer the questions below for the sets:
C = { aab, baa},
D = {bb, aab},
E = {ɛ},
F= ∅.
Except for parts (c) and (h), write out any sets with the elements in lexicographic order.
For any infinite sets, list only the first 8 elements in lexicographic order, but be sure to
also indicate that the set is infinite by including 3 dots after listing the first 8 elements.
For any set S, we define
𝑠𝑠 ∗ = 𝑠𝑠 0 𝑠𝑠1 𝑠𝑠 2 · · · ,
𝑠𝑠 + = 𝑠𝑠1 𝑠𝑠 2 𝑠𝑠 3 · · ·,
