The discussion revolves around proving the equivalence A ∩ B = A ∩ C if and only if A ∩ ¬B = A ∩ ¬C. Participants express frustration with their attempts to solve the problem, noting that various approaches have not yielded results. One user mentions transforming the equation into A - B = A - C but still feels stuck. Another user tries to demonstrate the proof by considering elements in sets A, B, and C but encounters difficulties in reaching the conclusion. The overall sentiment reflects a struggle to find a clear path to the proof.

Can you show us the work you did?
 
All i pretty much did so far was turning the A \cap LB = A \cap C \Leftrightarrow A - B = A - C
i've tried pretty much everything nothing seems to work
example : let x E a ---> x E A \cap B ---> x E A \cap C
yeah I'm pretty much stuck here
also i tried this one A \cap B = A \cap C \longrightarrow x E A and x E B and x E C \Longrightarrow x E A and x E l B and x E l C And I am stuck here.. i need to prove that x E A and x E/ B = x E A and x E/ C...
 
Question: A clock's minute hand has length 4 and its hour hand has length 3. What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
