Answer:

Prove set equality by showing that for any element x, x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C)) if and only if x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C)).

Example:

A = \lbrace 0,\, 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace.

B = \lbrace0,\, 1 \rbrace.

C = \lbrace0,\, 2 \rbrace.

\begin{aligned} & A \backslash (B \cap C) \\ =\; & \lbrace 0,\, 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace \backslash \lbrace 0 \rbrace \\ =\; & \lbrace 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace \end{aligned}.

\begin{aligned}& (A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C) \\ =\; & \lbrace 2,\, 3\rbrace \cup \lbrace 1,\, 3 \rbrace \\ =\; & \lbrace 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace\end{aligned}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proof for [x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C))] \implies [x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))] for any element x:

Assume that x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C)). Thus, x \in A and x \not \in (B \cap C).

Since x \not \in (B \cap C), either x \not \in B or x \not \in C (or both.)

  • If x \not \in B, then combined with x \in A, x \in (A \backslash B).
  • Similarly, if x \not \in C, then combined with x \in A, x \in (A \backslash C).

Thus, either x \in (A \backslash B) or x \in (A \backslash C) (or both.)

Therefore, x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C)) as required.

Proof for [x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))] \implies [x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C))]:

Assume that x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C)). Thus, either x \in (A \backslash B) or x \in (A \backslash C) (or both.)

  • If x \in (A \backslash B), then x \in A and x \not \in B. Notice that (x \not \in B) \implies (x \not \in (B \cap C)) since the contrapositive of that statement, (x \in (B \cap C)) \implies (x \in B), is true. Therefore, x \not \in (B \cap C) and thus x \in A \backslash (B \cap C).
  • Otherwise, if x \in A \backslash C, then x \in A and x \not \in C. Similarly, x \not \in C \! implies x \not \in (B \cap C). Therefore, x \in A \backslash (B \cap C).

Either way, x \in A \backslash (B \cap C).

Therefore, x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C)) implies x \in A \backslash (B \cap C), as required.

A board game has 25 cards, each printed with a number from 1 through 25. Sameer shuffled the cards, and then selected 1 card.
Yuki888 [10]

Total number of cards = 25 .
Total number of possible draws = 25
Number of possible successes = 5

(The successful draws are 1, 2, 3, 9, and 18.)

Probability of success = 5/25  =  <em>1/5 </em> =  0.2  =  20%

Sergio works at a bakery and needs to cover
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The surface area that Sergio needs to frost on each cake is 3,238 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

The surface area of the cylindrical cake is equal to the lateral area plus the area of the top of cylinder (remember that the bottom of the cake does not need frosting)

so

SA=\pi r^{2}+2\pi r h

we have

r=40.2/2=20.1\ cm ---> the radius is half the diameter

h=15.6\ cm

\pi=3.14

substitute the given values

SA=(3.14)(20.1)^{2}+2(3.14)(20.1)(15.6)

SA=1,268.59+1,969.16\\SA=3,237.75\ cm^2

Round up to the  nearest whole number

SA=3,238\ cm^2

therefore

The surface area that Sergio needs to frost on each cake is 3,238 square centimeters

Please help me!!!!!!!!!
Aneli [31]
It’s 45, since the bottom corner is 90, the top one is 45 bc if you turn it into a rectangle it has to be 90 also and half of that is 45, 90 plus 45 is 135 and all the angle of a right triangle make 180, so 180 minus 135 is 45
