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).

6-2x=5x-9x+12 what is the value of x<br><br> its for savvas realize
Sidana [21]

Answer:like terms: 5x + -9x = -4x 6 + -2x = -12 + -4x Solving 6 + -2x = -12 + -4x Solving for variable 'x'.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 - 2x = 5x - 9x + 18 - 12 6 - 2x = -4x + 6 -2x = -4x 4x - 2x = 0 2x = 0 x = 0 / 2 x = 0.

A textbook search committee is considering
lora16 [44]

Number of ways to select 3 books from 13 books for adoption is 286 .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

A Permutation is an ordered Combination. When the order does matter it is a Permutation. There are basically two types of permutation:

  • Repetition is Allowed: such as the lock above. It could be "333".
  • No Repetition: for example the first three people in a running race. You can't be first and second.

Formula is given by:

nC_r= \frac{n!}{r! (n-r)!} , where n is the number of things to choose from,  and we choose r of them,  no repetitions,  order matters. Here , n=13 , r=3.

⇒ 13C_3 = \frac{13!}{3!(13-3)!}

⇒ 13C_3 = \frac{13!}{3!(10)!}

⇒ 13C_3 = \frac{13(12)(11)10!}{3(2)(1)(10)!}

⇒ 13C_3 = 13(2)(11)

⇒ 13 C_3 = 286

∴ Number of ways to select 3 books from 13 books for adoption is 286 .
