Suppose that X is a subset of Y. Let p be the proposition ‘x is an element ofX’ and let q be the proposition ‘x is an element of

Y’. Write down apropositional term which represents the statement ‘x is an element ofY \X ’. Hence or otherwise, establish the following identities for sets:(i) A n B = A\Bc;(ii) A U (B\A) = A U B;(iii) A\(B U C) = (A\B) n (A\C);(iv) A\(B n C) = (A\B) U (A\C).

Answer:

See answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement ‘x is an element of Y \X’ means, by definition of set difference, that "x is and element of Y and x is not an element of X", WIth the propositions given, we can rewrite this as "p∧¬q". Let us prove the identities given using the definitions of intersection, union, difference and complement. We will prove them by showing that the sets in both sides of the equation have the same elements.

i) x∈AnB  if and only (if and only if means that both implications hold) x∈A and x∈B if and only if x∈A and x∉B^c (because B^c is the set of all elements that do not belong to X) if and only if x∈A\B^c. Then, if x∈AnB  then x∈A\B^c, and if x∈A\B^c then x∈AnB. Thus both sets are equal.

ii) (I will abbreviate "if and only if" as "iff")

x∈A∪(B\A) iff x∈A or x∈B\A iff x∈A or x∈B and x∉A iff x∈A or x∈B (this is because if x∈B and x∈A then x∈A, so no elements are lost when we forget about the condition x∉A) iff x∈A∪B.

iii) x∈A\(B U C) iff x∈A and x∉B∪C iff x∈A and x∉B and x∉C (if x∈B or x∈C then x∈B∪C thus we cannot have any of those two options). iff x∈A and x∉B and x∈A and x∉C iff x∈(A\B) and x∈(A\B) iff x∈ (A\B) n (A\C).

iv) x∈A\(B ∩ C) iff x∈A and x∉B∩C iff x∈A and x∉B or x∉C (if x∈B and x∈C then x∈B∩C thus one of these two must be false) iff x∈A and x∉B or x∈A and x∉C iff x∈(A\B) or x∈(A\B) iff x∈ (A\B) ∪ (A\C).

Two types of tickets were sold for an upcoming concert: adult tickets and child tickets. In total, there
Alona [7]

Answer:

Adult ticket is $60

Child ticket is $32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = price of adult ticket

     y = price of child ticket

(1)    175x + 103y = 13796               (2)    2x + 2y = 184

                                                                 x + y = 92

                                                                       y = 92 - x

      175x + 103(92 - x) = 13796

      175x + 9476 - 103x = 13796

       72x = 4320

           x = 60                                                  y = 92 - 60

                                                                        y = 32
