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).

Violet knows that her subscription rate for the basic tier of cable television increased from $18.20 to $19.50 at some point dur
mezya [45]
The 2 equations are
18.20x+19.50y=230.10
and
x+y=12
where x is the months of original cost and y is months for new cost. Since you know that you paid for one year (12 months) you can make the second equation. Then you want to substitute the first equations x by making the second equation
x=(12-y)
18.20(12-y)+19.50y=230.10
218.40-18.20y+19.50y=230.10
1.30y=11.70
y=9
so that means you had the original rate for 3 months and the new one for 9 months
