Precalculus intersectoin, union, universal etc

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a precalculus problem involving set operations, specifically the intersection and union of sets. Participants emphasize that without knowing the specific sets A, B, and C, it is impossible to solve the equation (A∪B)' ∩ C or (A∩B)' ∩ C. One user expresses frustration at perceived rudeness while seeking help, but others clarify that more information is needed to provide assistance. The conversation highlights the importance of defining the sets involved in set theory problems. Clear communication of the problem's parameters is essential for effective problem-solving.

You do understand that we can't possibly tell you what (A\cupB)' cap[\itex] C is without knowing what A, B, C are don't you?

hes not being rude, he is just telling you that you need to advise us what A, B and C are :)
 
I tried to combine those 2 formulas but it didn't work. I tried using another case where there are 2 red balls and 2 blue balls only so when combining the formula I got ##\frac{(4-1)!}{2!2!}=\frac{3}{2}## which does not make sense. Is there any formula to calculate cyclic permutation of identical objects or I have to do it by listing all the possibilities? Thanks
Since ##px^9+q## is the factor, then ##x^9=\frac{-q}{p}## will be one of the roots. Let ##f(x)=27x^{18}+bx^9+70##, then: $$27\left(\frac{-q}{p}\right)^2+b\left(\frac{-q}{p}\right)+70=0$$ $$b=27 \frac{q}{p}+70 \frac{p}{q}$$ $$b=\frac{27q^2+70p^2}{pq}$$ From this expression, it looks like there is no greatest value of ##b## because increasing the value of ##p## and ##q## will also increase the value of ##b##. How to find the greatest value of ##b##? Thanks
