Step 1
So, $$x = 1, 2
To check which sets are equal, we first find the solutions for the quadratic equations in sets A and B. Now, let's compare the sets: A = {x | x^2 − 4x + 3 = 0} = {1, 3} B = {x | x^2 − 3x + 2 = 0} = {1, 2} C = {x | x ∈ N, x < 3} = {1, 2} E = {1, 2} G = {3, 1} We can see that sets A, C, E, and G are equal, and set B is not equal to any of the other sets.
Final Answer
2. To list the elements of the given sets: A = {x |x is a vowel} = {a, e, i, o, u} C = {x |x precedes f in the alphabet} = {a, b, c, d, e, g} B = {x |x is a letter in the word “little”} = {l, i, t, t, l, e} = {l, i, t, e} D = {x |x is a letter in the word “title”} = {t, i, t, l, e} Since sets B and D have the same elements, they are equal. 3. To find the sets that can be equal to a set X under the given conditions: (a) X and B are disjoint: No set can be equal to X since all sets have elements in common with set B. (c) X ⊆ A but X ⊈ C: Set D can be equal to X. (b) X ⊆ D but X ⊈ B: No set can be equal to X since all sets have elements in common with set B. (d) X ⊆ C but X ⊈ A: Set E can be equal to X. 4. To find the required sets: (a) A ∩ B = {2, 5}, A ∩ C = {1, 5} (b) A ∪ B = {1, 2, 5, 6, 7}, B ∪ C = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9} (d) A \ B = {1, 6}, A \ C = {1, 2, 6, 9} (f) (A ∪ C) \ B = {1, 3, 6, 7, 9}, (B ⊕ C) \ A = {3, 4, 6, 8, 9} (c) A C = {5}, C C = {5, 7} (e) A ⊕ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7}, A ⊕ C = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9} 5. A ∪ B = (A ∩ B) ∩ (A ∩ B)' + A ∩ B 6. Shading the sets: (a) A\(B∪C): Shade everything in A except the parts that overlap with B or C. (b) AC ∩ (B ∪ C): Shade the intersection of sets A and C, and then shade the parts of B or C that overlap with the shaded area. (c) AC ∩ (C\B): Shade the intersection of sets A and C, and then shade the parts of C that do not overlap with B. 7. Dual of each equation: (a) A = (B'C)' ∩ (A ∩ B')' (b) U = (A ∩ B)' ∩ (A ∩ B)' ∩ (A ∩ B)' 8. Using the laws in Table 1 - 1 to prove each set identity: (a) (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ BC) = A LHS: (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ BC) = A ∩ (B ∪ BC) (Distributive law) = A ∩ U (Complement law) = A (Identity law) (b) A ∪ B = (A ∩ BC) ∪ (AC ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ B) LHS: A ∪ B = (A ∪ B) ∩ U (Identity law) = (A ∪ B) ∩ ((B ∩ C) ∪ (B ∩ C)') (Complement law) = (A ∩ (B ∩ C)') ∪ (B ∩ (B ∩ C)') ∪ (A ∩ B) (Distributive law) = (A ∩ BC)' ∪ (B ∩ BC)' ∪ (A ∩ B) (Complement law) = (A ∩ BC)' ∪ (AC ∩ B)' ∪ (A ∩ B) (Distributive law) The proofs for (a) and (b) are complete. I'll continue solving the remaining questions in the next part.
