a. R \cup S b. (M^{c} \cup N^{c})^{c} c. F^{c} \cap G d. (H \cap I^{c})^{c} e. P \cup Q^{c} f. (S^{c} \cup T)^{c}
Exercise 14

14. Only a proof to 14.c. is provided

(B^{c} \cup C)^{c} = (({2, 4, 6, 8}}}^{c} \cup {3, 5, 7}^{c}

= {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} \cup {3, 5, 6})^{c}

= ({1, 3, 5, 7, 9})^{c}

= {2, 4, 6, 8}.

B \cap C^{c} = {2, 4, 6, 8} \cap ({1, 3, 5, 7, 9})^{c}

= {2, 4, 6, 8} \cap {2, 4, 6, 8}

= {2, 4, 6, 8}.

Since (B^{c} \cup C)^{c} and B \cap C^{C} have the exact same elements, they are equal. Therefore, (B^{c} \cup C)^{c} = B \cap C^{c}.

5.

a. Let A = {x, y} and B = {a, b, c, d}

2+4 = n(A) + n(B)

= n(A \cup B)

= n({x, y, a, b, c, d})

= 6

Therefore, 2 + 6 = 6

Since n(A) = 2, n(B) =4, and A \cap B =Ø, then by substituting n(A) for 2 and n(B) for 4 by substituting n(A) for 2 and n(B) for 4 by computing A \cup B by counting the elements in A \cup B

b. Let A = {x, y} and B = {a, b}

2+2 = n(A)+n(B)

= n(A \cup B)

= n({x, y, a, b})

= 4

Therefore, 2 + 2 = 4

Since n(A) = 2, n(B) =2, and A \cap B = Ø, then by substituting n(A) for 2 and n(B) for 2 by the set theory definition of addition by computing A \cup B by counting the elements in A \cup B

c. Let A = {x, y, z} and B = { }

3 + 0 = n(A) + n(B)

= n(A \cup B)

= n({x, y, z})

= 3

Therefore, 3 + 0 = 3

Since n(A) = 3, n(B) =0, and A \cap B = Ø, then by substituting n(A) for 3 and n(B) for 0 by the set theory definition of addition by computing A \cup B by counting the elements in A \cup B

a. Let A = {t, u, v, w, x, y, z} and B = {w, y, z}. Since n(A) = 7, n(B) = 3 and B \subseteq A,

7 - 3 = n(A) - n(B) by substituting n(A) for 7 and n(B) for 3

= n(A \ B) by the set theory definition of substitution

= n({t, u, v, x}) by computing A \ B

= 4 by counting the elements in A \ B

Therefore, 7 - 3 = 4.

Exercise 13

13.

a. Since the minuend is 120_{\text{three}}, the next place value block is a base three block. Since the subtrahend is 12_{\text{three}}, we have to figure out what to add to 12_{\text{three}} to make a block. 12_{\text{three}} is a long and two units, so I have to add 1 unit, 1 long and 2 flats to make a block. Therefore, ass 2 flats, a long a unit to the minuend, 120_{\text{three}}, which gives 1 block, 1 flat and 1 unit for the new minuend. If I remove the largest block from this new minuend, I should have the answer of 1 flat and 1 unit.So the answer is 101_{\text{three}}. I've left the drawing up to you. See #13 below to see how to start the problem with an abbreviated drawing.

b. Since the minuend is 213_{\text{four}}, the next place value block is a base four block. Since the subtrahend is 133_{\text{four}}, we have to figure out what to add to 133_{\text{four}} to make a block. 133_{\text{four}} is a flat, 3 longs and three units, so I have to add 1 unit and 2 flats to make a block. Therefore, add 2 flats and a unit to the minuend, 213_{\text{four}}, which gives 1 block and 2 longs for the new minuend. If I remove the largest block from this new minuend, I should have the answer of 2 longs. So the answer is 20_{\text{four}}. You can use abbreviations for the drawing and start by representing each original number as shown below. I've left the part to add on and final subtraction for you

Exercise 14

14.

a. She is breaking up the subtrahend into three parts (100 + 50 + 2), subtracting one place value at a time. 634 – 100 = 534; 534 – 50 = 484; 484 – 2 =482.
b. He is using a complementary method. If you add 48 to 152, you get 200. So he adds 48 to the minuend (634 + 48 = 682) and then subtracts 200.

Homework Solutions

Exercise 1

1. Provide your own sets. Here is one solution.

a. First, we must define two sets, A and B, that are disjoint with each other, such that one set has 5 elements and the other has 3 elements.

Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and B = {x, y, z}. Since n(A) = 5, n(B) = 3 and A \cap B = Ø, we can find the sum of 5 and 3 by first forming the union of A and B and then counting the number of elements in their union. A \cup B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, x, y, z}. Since n(A \cup B) = 8, then 5 + 3 = 8.

a. Associative Property of Multiplication

Illustrate this equation is true: (2_{\text{five}} \cdots 3_{\text{five}}) \cdots 4_{\text{five}} = 2_{\text{five}} \cdots (3_{\text{five}} \cdots 4_{\text{five}})

Left side: (2_{\text{five}} \cdots 3_{\text{five}}) \cdots 4_{\text{five}} = 11_{\text{five}} \cdots 4_{\text{five}} = 44_{\text{five}}

Right side: 2_{\text{five}} \cdots (3_{\text{five}} \cdots 4_{\text{five}}) = 2_{\text{five}} \cdots 22_{\text{five}}) = 44_{\text{five}}

Both expressions equal 44_{\text{five}}, so (2_{\text{five}} \cdots 3_{\text{five}}) \cdots 4_{\text{five}} = 2_{\text{five}} \cdots (3_{\text{five}} \cdots 4_{\text{five}})

Distributive Property of Multiplication of Addition:

Illustrate this equation is true: 2_{\text{five}} \cdots (3_{\text{five}} + 4_{\text{five}}) = (2_{\text{five}} \cdots 3_{\text{five}}) + (2_{\text{five}} \cdots 4_{\text{five)}}

Left side: 2_{\text{five}} \cdots (3_{\text{five}} + 4_{\text{five}}) = 2_{\text{five}} \cdots (12_{\text{five}}) = 24_{\text{five}}

Right side: (2_{\text{five}} \cdots 3_{\text{five}}) + (2_{\text{five}} \cdots 4_{\text{five}}) = 11_{\text{five}} + 13_{\trxt{five}} = 24_{\text{five}}

Both expressions equal 24_{\text{five}}, so 2_{\text{five}} \cdots (3_{\text{five}} + 4_{\text{five}}) = (2_{\text{five}} \cdots 3_{\text{five}}) + (2_{\text{five}} \cdots 4_{\text{five}})

a. m ! n = n ! m; Yes; Proof: If m ! n =n ! m, then ! is commutative. m ! n = 2 and n ! m = 2. Since both expressions (m ! n and n ! m) equal 2, then ! is commutative.
b. m \bigoplus n = n \bigoplus m; Yes; Proof: If m \bogoplus n = n \bigoplus m, then \bigoplus is commutative. m \bigoplus n = 3mn and n \bigoplus m = 3nm. Since 3mn = 3nm, then m \bigoplus n = n \bigoplus m. Therefore, is commutative.
c. m # n = n # m; Yes; Provide your own an example using numbers.
d. m ʘ n = n ʘ m; Yes; Proof: If m ʘ n = n ʘ m, then ʘ is commutative. m ʘ n = 2m + 2n, and n ʘ m = 2n + 2m. Since 2m + 2n = 2n + 2m, then m ʘ n = n ʘ m. Therefore, ʘ is commutative.
e. m \XBox n = n \XBox m; No; Provide your own counterexample using numbers.
f. m , n = n , m; Yes; Proof: If m , n = n , m, then , is commutative. m , n = m^{2} + n^{2} and n , m = n^{2} + m^{2}. Since m^{2} + n^{2} = n^{2} + m^{2}, then m , n = n , m. Therefore ,, is commutative.

6.

a. (a ! b)q c = a ! (b! c); yes; Proof: If (a ! b) ! c = a ! (b! c), then ! is associative. (a ! b) !c = 2! c = 2, and a ! (b! c) = a ! 2 = 2. Since both (a ! b) ! c and a ! (b! c) are equal to 2, then ! is associative.
b. (a \bigoplus b) \bigoplus c = a \bigoplus (b \bioplus c); yes; Proof: If (a \bigoplus b)r c = a \bigoplus (b \bigoplus c), then \bigoplus is associative. (a \bigoplus b) \bigoplus c = 3ab \bigoplus c = 3 \cdots 3ab \cdots c = 9abc, and a \bigoplus (b \bigoplus c) = a \bigoplus 3bc = 3 \cdots a \cdots 3bc = 9abc. Since both expressions [(a \bigoplus b) \bigoplus c and a \bigoplus (b \bigoplus c)] are equal to 9abc, then \bigoplus is associative.

(2) Remove 6 red-green pairs (zero), leaving RR, which represents -2.

(3) Therefore, -5 + -3 + 6 = -2.

e. (1) Combine 6 reds, 9 greens and 1 red: RRRRRR + GGGGGGGGG + R = R R R R R R R G G G G G G G G G

(2) Remove 7 red-green pairs (zero), leaving GG which represents +2.

(3) Therefore, -6 + 9 + -1 = +2.

f. (1) Combine 4 greens, 6 greens and 5 reds: GGGG + GGGGGG + RRRRR = G G G G G G G G G G R R R R R

(2) Remove 5 red-green pairs (zero), leaving GGGGG, which represents +5.

Exercise 1

1. GCF:14; LCM: 6,300

Exercise 3

3. a. GCF: 47; LCM: 49,350

Exercise 4

4. a. Since the number is even, we only need to make the resulting number divisible by 3. The digital root so far is 8. So, decide which single digits could be added to 8 to get a number that is still divisible by 3. Adding 1, 4 or 7 to 8 will work. So the possibilities are 4, 7 or 8.
