Math Problem Statement
Solution
We are given the following information about the sets:
- , where is the universal set.
The Venn diagram regions are labeled, and the goal is to fill them with appropriate numbers. Let's break this down by solving for each region:
Overlapping Regions:
-
Region V (A ∩ B ∩ C): This is the overlap of all three sets. We are given that , so this region contains 4 elements.
-
Region VI (A ∩ B, but not C): This is the part of A and B that does not include C. We know , and 4 of these are in . Therefore, elements are in region VI.
-
Region VII (A ∩ C, but not B): Similarly, , and 4 of these are in , so elements are in region VII.
-
Region VIII (B ∩ C, but not A): , and 4 are in , so elements are in region VIII.
Non-overlapping Regions:
-
Region II (Only A): We know that , and we’ve already accounted for the elements in , , and . The total in these overlaps is . Therefore, the number of elements in region II (only A) is .
-
Region IV (Only B): , and the overlaps involving B (regions VI, V, and VIII) have elements. So, region IV (only B) contains elements.
-
Region III (Only C): , and the overlaps involving C (regions VII, V, and VIII) have elements. Thus, region III (only C) contains elements.
Outside the Sets (Region I):
The total number of elements in the universal set is . We have accounted for all the elements inside A, B, and C, which are:
Thus, the number of elements in region I (outside A, B, and C) is .
Summary:
- Region I: 9 elements
- Region II: 13 elements
- Region III: 9 elements
- Region IV: 13 elements
- Region V: 4 elements
- Region VI: 6 elements
- Region VII: 3 elements
- Region VIII: 7 elements
Would you like further details or clarification?
Here are some related questions:
- What is the total number of elements shared between exactly two sets?
- How would the diagram change if were increased?
- What happens if one of the sets has no overlap with the others?
- How do you compute the number of elements in only two sets?
- What if was 0—how would the regions be affected?
Tip: When working with Venn diagrams, always start with the intersection of all three sets and work outward to ensure no overlap is missed.
