How to divide N into 3 subsets?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

N/3 ?

myininaya (myininaya):

do you want these sets to partition N?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

myininaya (myininaya):

so partition means we want the sets to be mutually disjoint and we need the union of the 3 sets to equal N

OpenStudy (amistre64):

A={odds} B={evens} C={evens from 3 to 9} ?

myininaya (myininaya):

so do you include 0 in the natural numbers?

myininaya (myininaya):

some people don't

myininaya (myininaya):

i do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

myininaya (myininaya):

\[A=\{x|x \in \mathbb{Z}^+ is odd\}, B=\{x|x \in \mathbb{Z}^+ is even\}, C=\{0\}\]

myininaya (myininaya):

myininaya (myininaya):
