Find the power set of set A = { 1, 2, 3 } and the number of subsets of A.

The power set of set A, denoted by P(A), is the set of all subsets of A. The power set of A is given by P(A) = { {}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {1, 2, 3} }. So, the number of subsets of A, denoted by n(A), is 8.

Calculate the symmetric difference between sets P = { 2, 3, 5, 6, 11 } and Q = { 1, 3, 5, 11 }.

The symmetric difference between sets P and Q, denoted by P Δ Q, is the set of elements that are in P or Q but not in both. The symmetric difference P Δ Q is given by P Δ Q = {1, 2, 6}.

Verify De Morgan’s laws for set difference using the sets A = { -2, 0, 1, 3, 5 }, B = { -1, 0, 2, 5, 6 }, and C = { -1, 2, 5, 6, 7 }.

De Morgan’s laws for set difference state that (A - B) U (A - C) = A - (B ∩ C) and (A ∩ B) - C = (A - C) ∪ (B - C). By using the given sets, we can verify these laws to be true.

Verify De Morgan’s laws of set complementation using the sets U = { 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16 }, A = { 7, 8, 11, 12 }, and B = { 4, 8, 12, 15 }.

<p>De Morgan’s laws of set complementation state that (A ∪ B)’ = A’ ∩ B’ and (A ∩ B)’ = A’ ∪ B’. By using the given sets, we can verify these laws to be true.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Find the number of students who speak all three languages among 100 students, given the language statistics.

<p>Using the principle of inclusion-exclusion, the number of students who speak all three languages is given by n(Tamil ∩ English ∩ French) = n(Tamil) + n(English) + n(French) - n(Tamil ∩ English) - n(English ∩ French) - n(Tamil ∩ French) + n(Tamil ∩ English ∩ French). Substituting the given values, we can calculate the number of students who speak all three languages.</p> Signup and view all the answers
