Set Theory

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} \normalsize \text{A ∩ B = A ∩ C need not imply B = C.} \quad \normalsize \text{ Explain through an example.}\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)

OpenStudy (kainui):

A = {1} B = {1, 2} C = {1, 3}

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

huh kai was so fast :P

OpenStudy (kainui):

Hahaha there could have been a simpler example: A = {} B = {1} C = {2}

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

thnx

OpenStudy (kainui):

I think that last example I gave sorta shows that it's almost like this is a lot like multiplying by zero. a*b=a*c This doesn't mean b=c, since a=0 is possible.

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

Let A and B be sets. If A ∩ X = B ∩ X = φ and A ∪ X = B ∪ X for some set X, show that A = B.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

in general any case with \[ A\cap B \neq \varnothing \] does not imply A=C

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

or \(C\cap B \neq \varnothing \)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

i need an example like the previous one

OpenStudy (kainui):

ikram needs more owl bucks sry

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

A={1,2,3} B={1,2,3} C={1,2,3,4}

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

:O @Kainui i dont lol

OpenStudy (kainui):

Hahaha jk :P

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

is that the example for this que Let A and B be sets. If A ∩ X = B ∩ X = φ and A ∪ X = B ∪ X for some set X, show that A = B.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

you wanna prove this ?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

yes with example

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

ok example A={1,2,3} B={1.4} C={1,2.3}

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

but C is not there in the question

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

sorry i ment to say x :P

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

now to prove they are two side of the prove 1- show A is a subset of B 2- show B is a subset of A

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

let \(c\in A \cup X\) so \( c\in A ~or~c\in X \) if c in A then \( c\in B\cup X \) and \( c\in B\) (since c is not in x) thus \(A\subset B\) the other way is alike :P sorry im lazy to type

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

Is it possible to do something like this? \[ A\cup X=B\cup X\land A\cap X=B\cap X=\emptyset\implies A\cup X\setminus X=B\cup X\setminus X\implies A=B \]
