- 2. Disprove the following by finding counterexamples: 3. (a) For all sets A and B, AU (BNA) = B. (b) For all sets A, B, and C, ANBCC if and only if ACC and B C C. Suppose A and B are subsets of a universal set U. Using the set identities¹ prove the following: (a) (ANB) U(ANB) = B (b) A (BA) = Aarrow_forwardNo chatgpt pls will upvotearrow_forwardx+10+2 = 6 x =?arrow_forward
- 4. Prove: If x {0, 1} then x² - -x=0. 5. 6. Prove by contrapositive: Suppose x is a real number. If x>0 then x + 16 0. Prove by contradiction: Suppose n is an integer. Then n² - n+10. Hint: You might try organizing the proof by cases on whether n is even or odd. Is n² - n+1 even or odd?arrow_forwardLet f(x)=7x²-2x and g(x) = 5x+3.

- 1. Suppose the domain of discourse is kinds of minerals. Let A be kinds of minerals that dissolve in acid, let S be minerals that can be scratched by an iron nail, and let C be minerals that are clear. Write expressions using set operations that represent the following sets of minerals: (a) Minerals that dissolve in acid and can be scratched by an iron nail. (b) Minerals that dissolve in acid and are not clear. (c) Minerals that are either clear or both dissolve in acid but cannot be scratched by an iron nail. (d) Minerals that are neither dissolvable in acid nor scratable by an iron nail. (e) Minerals that are either both dissolvable in acid and scratchable by an iron nail or both dissolvable in acid and not clear.arrow_forwardExpress the integrand as a sum of partial fractions and evaluate the integral. 2 32s+ 32 (s²+1) (s-1)3 ds Express the integrand as a sum of partial fractions.
