@jim_thompson5910 can you help me with some problems?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Do you know how to visually find ~O ∩ L ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

finding what they have in common?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, what do ~O and L have in common

OpenStudy (anonymous):

49 and 84?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

What numbers are a) Not in set O and b) in set L

OpenStudy (anonymous):

295

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what else

OpenStudy (anonymous):

67

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so those numbers are in the set ~O ∩ L ie they are in L but NOT in O

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now add on any numbers found in set V

@jim_thompson5910 sorry my computer crashed

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's ok

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so did you get the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my answer would be 295 67 and 387

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what else is in V

OpenStudy (anonymous):

72 and 49?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep, so the numbers 295, 67, 387, 72, 49 are in the set V U (~O ∩ L)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

add up all of these numbers to figure out how many subscribers belong to the set V U (~O ∩ L)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

870?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did he just come from?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
