Ex 36, p 147.

Let f be a function from the set A to the Set B. Let S and T be the subset of A. Show that

b) f(S \cap T) \subseteq f(S) \cap f(T).

Thanks.

Any time you prove subset relations, you have to show that any element of the subset is an element of the parent set. Let x be an element of the subset, show it is in the parent set.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
