[QUOTE="TheMathNoob, post: 5448559, member: 569615"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] Assume {B, C, D} is a partition of the universal set U, A is a subset of U and A is not a subset of B complement, A is not a subset of C complement, A is not a subset of D complement. Prove that {A ∩ B, A ∩ C, A ∩ D} is a partition of A. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2][h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] I know that this is right intuitively. I know how explain it with words, but I don't know how mathematically. A is not a subset of B complement, A is not a subset of C complement, A is not a subset of D complement implies that A has to be distributed among the three subsets. There is nothing left of A because B,C and D is a partition of the universal set. Therefore, the union of the pieces in which A overlaps with B,C,D is A. This pieces are going to be disjoint. Mathematically, I can prove that (AnB)n(AnC)n(AnD)=An(BnCnD)= An empty set =empty set [/QUOTE]
