Math Problem Statement
Give examples of three sets A, B, and C such that B ≠ C but B - A = C - A.
Solution
The image asks to "Give examples of three sets , , and such that but ."
Explanation:
- is the set difference, meaning elements in that are not in .
- similarly represents the elements in that are not in .
You are asked to find sets and that are not equal, yet the elements of that are outside are the same as the elements of that are outside .
Example:
Let’s define three sets:
Now, let’s compute the set differences:
- (the element in that is not in )
- (the element in that is not in )
Clearly, since and , but their set differences with are different, not equal, so this example does not work.
Let’s adjust this approach by modifying and .
Correct Example:
Let:
Now, compute the set differences:
For the condition to hold, we'd have to revise these further. Would you like to continue based
