Hi! I need help for this:
Proof equation: (A=B union C and B intersect C=empty set)=>(A\B=C)!

Tnx! :o

Hi and welcome to the forum.

What kind of help do you need? Surely you understand that if you take all women from a group of adults, you'll get all men and only men.

Please take some time to read the http://mathhelpboards.com/rules/, especially rule #11. Also, what you are proving is not an equation; it's a statement (claim, proposition, theorem) in the form of an implication. Finally, "proof" is a noun, and the corresponding verb is "prove".
 
Heh :D Perhaps Evengy overdid it a bit.

Okay, try drawing the Venn diagram. What do you observe? Do you see how obvious it is? Can you now sketch out a formal proof?

Thanks Balarka! When I draw Venn diagram, everything is clear! But I can't sketch out a formal proof! :(

Perhaps you could at least show us what approach you took?
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
