Answer
n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B)
a(i): Prove .
Step 1: Elements in are in only, only, or both.
Step 2: Substitute .
Step 3: Substitute .
Step 4: Simplify.
n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B)
a(ii): Same as a(i), standard inclusion-exclusion principle for two sets.
n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B)
a(iii): Prove using rearrangement from a(i).
From , rearrange.
But listed as for union, perhaps alternative form.
n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B)
b(i): Prove .
Step 1: .
Step 2: .
Step 3: Add the formulas.
Step 4: Note .
Step 5: Substitute into sum.
Step 6: Solve for intersection.
n(A \cap B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cup B)
c(i): Likely , which is equivalent to a(i).
Step 1: Partition .
n(A \cup B) = n(A \cap B) + n(A \setminus B) + n(B \setminus A)
d(i): Prove .
Step 1: , elements in not in .
Step 2: .
Step 3: Solve for difference.
n(A - B) = n(A) - n(A \cap B)
e: Both sides equal: .
Verified as in d(i).
n(A - B) = n(A) - n(A \cap B)
f: Both: Alternative proof .
Assuming finite sets, count elements in excluding .
Same as d(i).
n(A - B) = n(A) - n(A \cap B)
g: Of the two: .
Yes, by definition , where is complement relative to universe, but cardinality same.
n(A - B) = n(A \cap B')
h: Prove .
Step 1: Use inclusion-exclusion principle for three sets.
Divide into 7 disjoint regions:
-
Only A:
-
Only B:
-
Only C:
-
A and B only:
-
A and C only:
-
B and C only:
-
All three:
Step 2: = sum of all 7.
Step 3: Express each:
(Subtract pairwise, add back triple.)
Similarly for others.
Step 4: Add all:
Full expansion:
No, standard derivation:
From two-set:
Step 5:
Step 6:
Step 7: Substitute.
Step 8: Simplify.
n(A \cup B \cup C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n(A \cap B) - n(A \cap C) - n(B \cap C) + n(A \cap B \cap C)
