AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on verifying the correctness of set operations involving the universal set U and subsets A, B, C, and D. The user calculates B' ∪ D' and A' ∪ B', concluding that B' ∪ D' equals the universal set U. They also find that A' ∩ B' results in the set D. The responses confirm that the user's calculations are accurate. Overall, the solution presented is correct.

just want to make sure if my answer is correct

If $\displaystyle U\,=\,\{0,\,1,\,2,\,3,\,4,\,5,\,6,\,7,\,8,\,9\}$, the set of digits in our decimal system, and $\displaystyle A\,=\,\{0,\,1,\,2,\,3,\,4,\,5\}$, $\displaystyle B\,=\,\{2,\,3,\,4,\,5,\}$, $\displaystyle C\,=\,\{4,\,5,\,6,\,7\}$, $\displaystyle D\,=\,\{6,\,7,\,8,\,9\}$, find and tabulate:

a. $\displaystyle B'\,\cup\,D'$
b. $\displaystyle A'\,\cup\,B'$

here's my solution

$\displaystyle B'\,\cup\,D'\,=\,\{0,\,1,\,6,\,7,\,8,\,9\}\cup\{0,\,1,\,2,\,3,\,4,\,5,\}\,=\,U$
$\displaystyle A'\,\cap\,B'\,=\,\{6,\,7,\,8,\,9\}\cap\{0,\,1,\,6,\,7,\,8,\,9\}\,=\,\{\,6,\,7,\,8,\,9\}\,=\,D$

Looks good to me! (Sun)
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
