Let <em>A</em>, <em>B</em>, and <em>C</em> denote the sets of students that have taken calculus, sociology, and Spanish, respectively.

We're given that A\cup B\cup C consists of 187 students.

We want to find the size of A\cap B\cap C, given that

• <em>A</em> has 61 students;

• <em>B</em> has 78;

• <em>C</em> has 72;

• A\cap B has 15;

• A\cap C has 20; and

• B\cap C has 13.

Using the inclusion/exclusion principle, we have

|A\cup B\cup C|=|A|+|B|+|C|-(|A\cap B|+|A\cap C|+|B\cap C|)+|A\cap B\cap C|

where |<em>X</em>| denotes the size of the set <em>X</em>. Plug in all the known sizes:

187=61+78+72-(15+20+13)+|A\cap B\cap C|

\implies|A\cap B\cap C|=24

so 24 students have taken all three classes.

What is the inverse of the given relation? y = 4x - 8
Aleks [24]
Let y be x, and x be y.

x = 4y - 8

Rearrange to make y the subject.

x + 8 = 4y

Therefore

y = (x + 8) / 4

is the inverse.
