SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on constructing a Venn diagram with three sets A, B, and C, where each pair of sets has a non-empty intersection, but the intersection of all three sets is empty. The requirements are clearly defined as $A \cap B \neq \emptyset$, $B \cap C \neq \emptyset$, $C \cap A \neq \emptyset$, and $A \cap B \cap C = \emptyset$. Participants emphasize the importance of using complex figures rather than perfect circles to achieve the desired intersections.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of set theory and Venn diagrams
  • Familiarity with mathematical notation for intersections
  • Ability to visualize complex geometric shapes
  • Basic knowledge of diagramming tools for creating Venn diagrams
NEXT STEPS
  • Research techniques for creating complex Venn diagrams using software like Lucidchart or GeoGebra
  • Explore set theory concepts, specifically focusing on intersections and unions
  • Learn about visual representation of mathematical concepts in educational tools
  • Investigate alternative methods for illustrating set relationships beyond traditional Venn diagrams
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, educators, students studying set theory, and anyone interested in advanced diagramming techniques for visualizing relationships between sets.

Find a Venn diagram containing three sets A, B, C such that $A\cap B\,\neq\,\emptyset$, $B\cap C\,\neq\,\emptyset$,and $C\cap A\,\neq\,\emptyset$, but $A\cap B\cap C\,=\,\emptyset$.

here's my answer please check if it is right.

What you have is not $A\cap C\ne \emptyset$

You don't have to use perfect circles in Venn diagrams. Try more complex figures!
Also you don't have to show the intersections with shadows only! You can try figures containing objects.
 
Hello, paulmdrdo!

Find a Venn diagram containing three sets A, B, C such that:
A\cap B\,\neq\,\emptyset,\;B\cap C\,\neq\, \emptyset,\,\text{and }C\cap A\,\neq\,\emptyset
but A\cap B\cap C\,=\,\emptyset

Here's my answer; please check if it is right.

No.
You have: C \cap A \,=\,\emptysetThe diagram might look like this:

Code:

If there are an infinite number of natural numbers, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two natural numbers, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two of those fractions, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two of those fractions, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two of those fractions, and... then that must mean that there are not only infinite infinities, but an infinite number of those infinities. and an infinite number of those...
