Algebraic Formulas, Cardinality, and Set Comparisons

  • The formula discussed is a square minus b square equals a minus b times a plus b, demonstrated through x plus 4 times x minus 4 and x plus 3 times x minus 3.
  • Solving for x in the equation x plus 3 times x minus 3 equals 0 results in x being -4, -3, 4, and 3.
  • Natural numbers are defined as integers from 0 to infinity, excluding negative values.
  • The cardinality of the union of sets s1, s2, and s3 is 2, as s1 contains no elements, and s2 and s3 share elements 3 and 4.
  • The cardinality of the intersection of sets s1, s2, and s3 is 0, as there are no common elements among the sets.
  • The set s1 minus s2 contains no elements, resulting in a cardinality of 0.
  • The comparison between sets s2 and s3 reveals that they are equal, as they share the same elements.
