    Proving Set Theory Problem: Counterexample for (A-B)intersect(A-C)=empty set

    Ok how about this: Proof: Let A={4,26}, B={4,23}, and C={26,23}. If (A-C)=26 and (A-C)=4, that means that (A-B)intersect(A-C) equals the empty set. But B intersect C = 23 which is not the empty set, therefore there is a contradiction. How is that?

    Proving Set Theory Problem: Counterexample for (A-B)intersect(A-C)=empty set

    I was wondering if someone could please look over my proof of this set theory problem and let me know if I am doing it right or not and give me some help. Provide a counterexample for the following: If (A-B)intersect(A-C)=empty set, then B intersect C = empty set. Proof: Assume...

    Can Integer Solutions to 12m + 15n = 1 Be Positive?

    But how would you prove that that m and n are both negative whenever the antecedent is true?

    Can Integer Solutions to 12m + 15n = 1 Be Positive?

    I really don't understand it either and it is killing me. -.- I have a headache because I'm trying to figure it out and I can't. haha Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to go about this proof?

    Can Integer Solutions to 12m + 15n = 1 Be Positive?

    Prove that: d) there do not exsist integers m abd n such that 12m+15n=1 f) if there exist integers m and n such that 12m+15n=1, then m and n are both positive. so far for d i have d) since 12m is always a multiple of 3 and since 15n is always a multiple of 3, then adding or...

    Where Is the Force on the Marble Zero?

    Can someone just let me know if the first one is right? I know the second one is B and that the thrid one is supposed to be d and not c but i want to make sure i am right about the first one. I think its A and C because that is were the KE is zero making force zero, right? thanks!

    Where Is the Force on the Marble Zero?

    potential energy. check answers please :) A marble moves along the x-axis. The potential-energy function is shown in the figure attached. At which of the labeled x-coordinates is the force on the marble zero? -a and c -b and d I was thinking it was at a and c Which of the...

    Calculating Horizontal Force for Displaced Hanging Object

    A 125kg mail bag hangs by a vertical rope 3.9 m long. A postal worker then displaces the bag to a position 1.9 m sideways from its original position, always keeping the rope taut. What horizontal force is necessary to hold the bag in the new position? I used the gravitational...

    Calculating Maximum Speed and Initial Displacement of a Glider on a Spring

    A glider with mass m= 0.230 kg sits on a frictionless horizontal air track, connected to a spring with force constant k= 5.40 N/m. You pull on the glider, stretching the spring 0.100 m, and then release it with no initial velocity. The glider begins to move back toward its equilibrium position...
