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.

Hello - I won't be able to go to bed if I don't solve this thing.
Darina [25.2K]
Ok.... so the first part is asking you what the perimeter of the picture itself is.
The picture is 5in by 7in.... SO you add 5+5+7+7=24.... So the perimeter of the pic is 24 inches.

Now part b

So the frame is one inch thick
This mean that the sides are now 2 inches longeron each side

 SO we have 7+7+9+9=32

So the perimeter is 32

I hope that helped!!!!! If you dont understand something ask and i will reexplain ;)
